British technology tycoon Mike Lynch has been confirmed dead after his superyacht sank off the coast of Italy, while search efforts continue for his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
Five bodies have now been recovered from the wreckage of the Bayesian, which capsized during the early hours of Monday morning in stormy weather and a freak tornado. An Italian government official confirmed that the sixth and final missing passenger is Lynch’s daughter Hannah, and that she is believed to be on the boat.
The former Latymer Upper School pupil had joined her parents on the vessel, ahead of starting an English degree at the University of Oxford in September. Morgan Stanley international bank chair Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, and his wife Neda Morvillo, have also been identified as among the deceased after a three-day search operation.
A statement from the Bloomer family expressed gratitude to the emergency services, and added: “Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren. “Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now. This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder. Our only ask is that our family’s privacy is respected at this time.”
