5th body recovered from Mike Lynch's family yacht off Sicily as questions mount over luxury vessel's sinking

By Anna Matranga

Updated on: August 22, 2024 / 10:48 AM EDT / CBS News

Rome — Divers recovered the body of a fifth victim of the Bayesian superyacht wreck Thursday morning, Sicily Civil Protection Chief Salvo Cocina confirmed to CBS News, and the Reuters news agency cited Italian Interior Ministry official Massimo Mariani as saying it was the body of Mike Lynch, the British tech magnate whose wife owned the vessel.

Italian Coast Guard spokesperson Vincenzo Zagarola told CBS News that teams were still working to recover the body of the sixth and final person left missing when the boat went down. The six bodies had remained stuck inside the 184-foot luxury yacht for days after it sank early Monday morning off the coast of Palermo, Sicily in a severe thunderstorm.

Four bodies were retrieved Wednesday from the Bayesian, which was resting on the seafloor at a 90 degree angle at a depth of over 160 feet. The vessel's position and items that moved around inside the ill-fated yacht made recovery efforts slow and hazardous.

Italian authorities have not officially identified the remains recovered from the Bayesian, which belonged to Lynch's wife Angela Bacares. She was among the 15 people who managed to escape from the boat as it sank quickly on Monday morning, but Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among those left missing.

Another victim, the Bayesian superyacht's chef, was found dead soon after the boat capsized. 

Along with Lynch and his daughter, the technology mogul's American lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda, and British banker Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, were believed to have been trapped in the yacht when it sank.

Questions as to how the state-of-the-art boat could have gone down so quickly have mounted steadily since the accident. 

Italian media were reporting Thursday that, after questioning survivors and witnesses, Italian prosecutors had opened an official investigation into a possible "culpable shipwreck." No individuals had been named as potential suspects.

On Thursday, Giovanni Costantino, head of the Italian Sea Group, which owns the company Perini Navi, which built the Bayesian in 2008, blamed human error.

"A Perini ship resisted Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 [hurricane]. Does it seem to you that it can't resist a tornado from here?" he remarked to the newspaper Corriere della Sera. "It is good practice when the ship is at anchor to have a guard on the bridge, and if there was one he could not have failed to see the storm coming. Instead, it took on water with the guests still in the cabin. ... They ended up in a trap, those poor people ended up like mice."

One possible factor could have been that the ship's keel — a fin-like structure that sticks out from the bottom of the boat, designed to provide stability and counterweight to the huge mast — was not fully deployed. The yacht had a retractable keel that could be raised for entry into shallow harbors. But a raised keel at sea would have made the ship much more vulnerable to instability in the strong winds that struck early Monday morning.

When asked whether divers had seen the ship's keel in a raised position, a spokesman for the Italian Coast Guard told CBS News that only the prosecutor investigating the incident could confirm such information but that the Coast Guard "was not denying" it. 

The ship's captain, 51-year-old New Zealand national James Cutfileld, was questioned for two hours by prosecutors on Thursday, according to Italian media.

4 bodies found inside the Bayesian, Mike Lynch family yacht, amid search

Four bodies were recovered inside the Bayesian superyacht on Wednesday, more than two days after it sank off the coast of Italy , setting off an exhaustive search for six missing people, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch .

Two of the bodies discovered earlier on Wednesday were brought to shore. One body recovered was a heavily built man, Reuters reported.

Six of the ship's 22 passengers, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, went missing after the yacht plunged under the water just before 5 a.m. on Monday as a storm swept across the area. Americans are among the missing, officials have said.

The U.K.-registered yacht belonged to Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who was also on board and was rescued. The tech tycoon was recently acquitted on fraud charges after a year under house arrest.

Ricardo Thomas, the ship's cook, was found dead on Monday, according to the coast guard.

The rescue mission saw a diving team, helicopters and multiple coast guard ships deployed to search the water. Fifteen people were pulled from the water on Monday, and eight were hospitalized in stable condition.

A 'black swan event'? Experts puzzle over why Bayesian yacht sank

An investigation opened by local prosecutors into the cause of the disaster is ongoing. Experts have pointed to a water spout, a tornado over the water that can travel up to 120 mph, that formed during the storm, as well as the heavy weight of ship's mast, one of the largest in the world.

The 184-feet-long ship was made by Italian ship manufacturer Perini in 2008.

Lynch set off on the cruise late last month to celebrate his acquittal on fraud charges in the U.S. that marked a decade of legal challenges, the Associated Press reported .

One of his lawyers and a character witness for Lynch during the trial were also on board and vanished when the boat went down. Authorities have not yet disclosed the identities of the four people found.

Here are the passengers who were declared missing.

Mike Lynch and Hannah Lynch

Mike Lynch, 59, is co-founder of Britain’s largest enterprise software, Autonomy, which was sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2011, and founder of venture capital fund Invoke Capital. 

Sometimes known as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was slapped with charges after HP said it had uncovered deceit and a major accounting scandal within the firm. He spent a year on house arrest after being extradited from the UK.

In early June, at the end of a 12-week trial, a San Francisco jury acquitted Lynch of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He was also cleared on a charge of securities fraud later that month.

Lynch and Bacares have two daughters and six dogs, all named after engineering parts, according to the U.K.’s Sunday Times in a profile of Lynch from last month.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, was also among the missing. She was preparing to study English literature at Oxford University, according to the Sunday Times. 

Hannah is the younger of Mike Lynch’s two daughters, the Times reported . Mike Lynch told the outlet that his daughters had grown up with their father being publicly accused of fraud. 

Jonathan Bloomer and Judy Bloomer

Jonathan Bloomer is the non-executive chairman of both Morgan Stanley International and the insurer Hiscox, among other companies. Bloomer acted as a character witness on Lynch’s behalf during his fraud trial. 

Hiscox Chief Executive Aki Hussain told Reuters in a statement that the firm was deeply shocked and saddened and their thoughts were with all those affected. 

Bloomer’s twin brother, Jeremy, told BBC that he is processing the news and the family is waiting to hear updates.

“He was my elder by half an hour, so, it means a lot when you lose a twin brother,” Jeremy Bloomer told BBC. “We’ll still wait and see, so it’s fingers crossed.”

Jonathan Bloomer’s wife, Judy, is a psychotherapist of nearly three decades and former teacher. She specializes in anxiety and stress. She studied English language and literature at Homerton College in Cambridge.

Christopher Morvillo and Neda Morvillo

A lawyer with Clifford Chance, Chris Morvillo was among the team that represented Mike Lynch during his trial. Morvillo is an American citizen. 

He was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1999 to 2005, and he worked on the criminal investigation stemming from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

Morvillo was a graduate of Fordham University School of Law and Villanova University. 

Neda Morvillo, his wife, owns a hand-crafted jewelry company under her maiden name, Neda Nassiri. The company’s website said she has been designing and making jewelry for over 20 years.

In a post on LinkedIn after the conclusion of Lynch’s trial, Chris Morvillo acknowledged his family for their support during the case. 

“And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo.  None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home. 

And they all lived happily ever after…."

Yacht that sank off Sicily was carrying people celebrating tech magnate's acquittal; 6 missing

Police divers resumed searching Tuesday for six people believed trapped in the hull of a superyacht that sank in deep seas off Sicily, including a British tech magnate who was celebrating his recent acquittal on fraud charges with the people who had defended him at trial.

The resting place of their sailboat is some 50 meters (164 feet) underwater off Porticello — a depth that required special precautions that complicated the work: Recovery crews said they were working in 12-minute shifts, a measure that slowed down their efforts to reach the cramped inside of the wreck.

The Bayesian, a 184-foot British-flagged yacht, was moored about a half-mile offshore when a storm rolled in before 4 a.m. Monday. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Grainy film from closed-circuit cameras from shore, broadcast on the website of the Giornale di Sicilia, showed the majestic, illuminated 246-foot mast of the Bayesian weathering the storm and then disappearing over the course of a minute.

Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived, including a mother who reported holding her 1-year-old baby over the waves to save her. One body has been recovered, identified by officials as the Antiguan-born on-board chef. The rest of the 10-person crew survived, including the captain whom prosecutors reportedly sought to interview.

“It's a great, great tragedy,” said Britain's ambassador to Italy, Edward Llewellyn, who visited Porticello on Tuesday. Britain sent four investigators to the scene, given the disaster involved a British-flagged ship and British citizens were among the missing.

Fire rescue officials have said the six other passengers will be considered missing until they are located in the wreckage. They include the tycoon Mike Lynch, who was once hailed as Britain’s king of technology and was cleared in June of fraud and conspiracy charges in a U.S. federal trial related to Hewlett Packard’s $11 billion takeover of his company, Autonomy Corp.

Also unaccounted for are Christopher Morvillo, one of Lynch’s lawyers, and Jonathan Bloomer, a chairman at Morgan Stanley International and the former head of the Autonomy audit committee who testified in Lynch’s defense.

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Sir Robert Baden Powell, which rescued the 15 survivors who managed to get into a lifeboat, said he was close enough to be able to see the Bayesian as the storm came in.

“A moment later, she was gone,” he said. “They said they went flat on the water and were sunk in two minutes," Borner added, quoting the survivors.

The rotating search teams, each made up of two specialized cave divers, worked Tuesday to open up access points to get inside the wreck, which lies at a depth far beyond what most recreational divers are certified to reach. They were using a remote-controlled underwater vehicle, or ROV, to help in the search.

The divers have not yet been able to access the below-deck cabins because they were blocked by furniture that had shifted during the violent storm. Rescue crews said they assume the missing six are in those cabins because the storm struck when most would be sleeping, but the teams haven't verified their presence there through portholes.

Luca Cari, a spokesman for the rescue teams, said the search was proceeding much more slowly than another big shipwreck in Italy, the 2012 Costa Concordia cruise ship that flipped on its side off Tuscany's coast, because of the depth of the wreck and the limited space divers have to maneuver.

“That was much simpler. Here everything is more tight," he said.

The outing was intended at least in part as a celebration of Lynch's acquittal and a “looking forward to what was coming next,” said Reid Weingarten, a Washington attorney and a member of Lynch’s defense team who was not on the yacht.

“A lot of people went, a lot of people were planning to go and then of course this happened,” Weingarten said.

Some of the people who stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal were on board, including Morvillo, the lawyer, who Weingarten worked with and said “was like a brother.”

Morvillo's wife, Neda, is also missing, according to his law firm Clifford Chance.

Aki Hussain, CEO of international insurer Hiscox Group, where Bloomer, the witness, was chairman, said the company was "deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic event."

"Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our Chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing, and with their family as they await further news from this terrible situation,” he added.

Charlotte Golunski, who survived the disaster, said she momentarily lost hold of her 1-year-old daughter Sofia in the water, but then managed to hold her up over the waves until a lifeboat inflated and they were both pulled to safety, Italian news agency ANSA reported.

The father, identified by ANSA as James Emslie, also survived, as did Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares. Hannah Lynch, reportedly the couple’s 18-year-old daughter, is among the missing.

The yacht’s registered owner is listed as Revtom Ltd., according to online maritime database Equasis. Bacares is listed as Revtom’s sole owner, according to corporate registration documents from the Isle of Man.

Its name, Bayesian, may be a reference to “Bayesian Inference,” one of the two main approaches to statistical machine learning and the one that was used by Lynch’s company.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, was carrying 12 passengers and 10 crew. According to online charter companies, it had been available for charter for about $215,000 a week and was notable for its massive 246-foot-tall aluminum mast, one of the tallest in the world.

The coast guard said to date there was no trace of fuel leaks from the wreckage.

In an unrelated event, Lynch's co-defendant in the Autonomy trial who was also cleared, Stephen Chamberlain, was killed Sunday when he was hit by a car while running in Cambridgeshire, England, said Chamberlain's lawyer, Gary Lincenberg.

‘Unsinkable’ yacht built to survive a Category 5 hurricane

Mystery still surrounds how the Bayesian, which was built to withstand hurricanes , went down so easily in the storm when smaller sailboats nearby survived the severe thunderstorm. The superyacht was built by Italian manufacturer Perini Navi, a company under the Italian Sea Group luxury yacht brand. 

Italian Sea Group CEO Giovanni Costantino told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera that the ship was "one of the safest boats in the world" and "unsinkable." He also told the news outlet that another Perini ship survived Category 5 Hurricane Katrina .

An investigation into the disaster is underway.

Tributes have been paid to the 18-year-old daughter of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch after her body was recovered from the sunken yacht Bayesian . Hannah Lynch was brought ashore on Friday following a five-day search operation off the coast of Sicily , which had already retrieved the bodies of five others, including her father. Unconfirmed reports in the Italian media have now said that prosecutors are set to announce a manslaughter investigation into the incident, which killed seven in total and saw 15 others rescued from a lifeboat. Tributes have poured in for the “charming and ferociously intelligent” teenager, who had been due to start studying English at Oxford University in September. She died alongside her father when his boat capsized during stormy weather at around 4am on Monday morning, with the wreckage sitting at a depth of 50m below the surface of the sea. The trip had been a celebration of Mr Lynch’s acquittal in a decade-long fraud case in the US, and he had invited close friends, colleagues and his legal team onboard to thank them for their support. Also killed in the incident was Morgan Stanley International chair Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, his wife Neda Morvillo, and the yacht’s chef, Recaldo Thomas. In a statement, the family of Mr Lynch and Hannah said: “The Lynch family is devastated, in shock and is being comforted and supported by family and friends. “Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. They would like to sincerely thank the Italian coastguard, emergency services and all those who helped in the rescue. “Their one request now is that their privacy be respected at this time of unspeakable grief.” Hannah’s sister, Esme, said: “Hannah often burst into my bedroom and lay down with me. Sometimes beaming with a smile, sometimes cheeky, sometimes for advice. No matter what, she brought boundless love to me. “She was endlessly caring, passionately mad, unintentionally hilarious and the most amazing, supportive and joyful sister and best friend to me. And on top of all this, she had even more love to give endlessly to all her friends and passion to give to her incredible studies and goals. She is my little angel, my star.” Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coast Guard, said the search for Hannah was not “easy or quick”, comparing the sunken yacht to an “18-storey building full of water”. Specialist divers faced complex conditions while searching for the six missing people, with debris and furniture cluttering the narrow spaces leading to the cabin bedrooms. They only had a 10-minute window per dive to carry out their search, with a helicopter, remotely controlled underwater vehicles and naval units also deployed to assist. After the discovery of Hannah’s body on Friday morning, coastguard members, police officers and search and rescue teams lined up along Porticello Harbour, before an ambulance transported her to the mortuary in Palermo. Among those paying tribute was her former head of English at Latymer Upper School, who described her as achieving success with “extraordinary levels of grace and fortitude”. Jon Mitropoulos-Monk said: “I’ve never taught someone who combined sky-high intellectual ability with warmth and enthusiasm in the way Hannah did. She lit up the classroom with her energy, passion for learning and sheer intelligence (though never with a hint of arrogance).” Tributes from across all sectors have been paid to Mr Lynch, who founded the software giant Autonomy in 1996 and sat on the board of a number of prestigious institutions. His close friend and colleague Andrew Kanter said: “Mike was the most brilliant mind and caring person I have ever known. Over nearly a quarter century I had the privilege of working beside someone unrivalled in their understanding of technology and business. “There is simply no other UK technology entrepreneur of our generation who has had such an impact on so many people.” In a statement confirming their parents’ deaths, the Bloomer family described the couple as “incredible people and an inspiration to many”. An investigation is now due to look at the circumstances in which the boat sank, with the yacht’s captain, James Cutfield, reportedly questioned for two hours by authorities. Mr Zagarola has said a decision on whether to raise the sunken yacht from the seabed is “not on the agenda” but will be in the future. The CEO of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the firm that built the Bayesian , said that the yacht was “unsinkable” and that the vessels are “the safest in the most absolute sense”. Prosecutors in the nearby town of Termini Imerese are scheduled to hold a press conference on Saturday morning.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is the owner of superyacht Kingdom 5KR . In an official statement, the Saudi Prince said that his billions would go his organisation, Alwaleed Philanthropies, and be used to “foster cultural understanding” and support communities in need, including aiding disaster relief. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal also said the donation of his fortune would help causes that “empower women” – the Prince’s progressive views on women’s issues can be seen in his staff, which counts many women in its roster. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has already donated $3.5 billion to his charity. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is one of the world’s wealthiest people, ranked at number 34 on Forbes ’ list of the world’s billionaires. While he is a royal – the nephew to King Salman – Prince Alwaleed bin Talal doesn’t hold any official government position and is widely considered a “self-made” billionaire. According to the AP , he built his wealth through seed money from his father and varied investments. His company, Kingdom Holdings, owns stakes in Disney, Apple, Twitter, GM, News Corp, 21st Century Fox, and hotel groups including the The Four Seasons, Raffles and Fairmont. Now Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is donating all of his fortune, stating he has been inspired by the Gates Foundation, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates. Bill Gates enjoys yachting holidays himself, having been spotted on superyacht Serene last year. "Philanthropy is a personal responsibility, which I embarked upon more than three decades ago and is an intrinsic part of my Islamic faith," Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said in the statement. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns the superyacht Kingdom 5KR , launched by Benetti in 1980. The 85.9 metre displacement motor yacht was designed by Luigi Sturchio , and she enjoyed a refit in 1993. The 1,768GT, Saudi Arabia-flagged yacht can accommodate 22 guests. No word yet on whether donating all his wealth includes the eventual sale of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s superyacht Kingdom 5KR as well. An exact timeline of the donations was not announced in his statement, but the Prince said that the donation of his billions would occur through a “well-devised” plan in the coming years, supervised by a board of trustees that he will head.

Superyacht sinks latest: Investigators reveal where bodies were found as probe looks at 'crew's responsibility' Italian officials revealed at a news conference there could be "a question of manslaughter" as they opened a shipwreck investigation and said the probe is also looking at the "crew's responsibility". Saturday 24 August 2024 18:33, UK Superyacht sinking Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Prosecutor: There 'could be a question of manslaughter' Probe 'concentrating' on crew's responsibility Seven bodies recovered after five-day search of superyacht wreckage off Sicily Saturday's papers pay tribute to youngest victim Hannah Lynch Hannah's sister pays tribute to 'my little angel' Explained: Inside the superyacht | What challenges have faced divers? Eyewitness: Sombre scenes greet rescue teams as final body is brought ashore Live reporting by Niamh Lynch We're ending our live coverage for this evening but here is a recap of what we know: Prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation into the Bayesian sinking; Officials have revealed more details on their investigation and the difficult five-day rescue mission; The six bodies found during the search in recent days were all in cabins on the left-hand - and highest - side of the ship. Five were found in the first cabin and the sixth was found in the third; Prosecutors said the six passengers were most likely asleep when the boat sank; The probe is now focusing on the crew and their responsibilities, with the captain set to undergo more questioning. Monday 19 August The Bayesian yacht, flying a British flag, sinks at around 5am local time when the area was hit by a tornado. Fifteen people are rescued from the 56 metre vessel - including a mother and baby - but another seven remain missing. One body, later confirmed to be the yacht's chef Recaldo Thomas, is found near the wreck. It emerges that British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are among six people that remain missing. Tuesday 20 August The search continues for the six tourists missing. It is reported that among those missing are Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo; and his wife, Neda Morvillo. Police divers try to reach the hull of the ship, resting at a depth of 50 metres. Italy's fire brigade Vigili del Fuoco say early inspections of the wreck were "unsuccessful" because of limited access to the bridge and furniture obstructing passages. The operation is later described as "complex", with divers limited to 12-minute underwater shifts. Tributes pour in for Mr Thomas, with his friend Gareth Williams saying: "I can talk for everyone that knew him when I say he was a well-loved, kind human being with a calm spirit." Wednesday 21 August The search for the six people unaccounted for enters a third day, with crews carrying out inspections of the yacht's internal hull. A team of four British inspectors from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) arrive in Porticello to look at the site of the sinking. A helicopter is drafted in to help with the search effort and remotely controlled underwater vehicles are being used, with naval units and cave divers also taking part in the search. Five bodies are found inside the yacht on Wednesday afternoon. Only four of them are brought to shore. Body bags are seen being taken to Porticello in the afternoon where dozens of emergency services staff wait. Searches finish for the day just before 7.30pm. Thursday 22 August The search resumes for the remaining missing person. The body of the fifth missing person, found but not recovered the previous day, is brought to shore. A fire service boat with flashing blue lights returns with a blue body bag to the port of Porticello just after 8.45am local time on Thursday. Tributes pour in for Mr Lynch and Mr and Mrs Bloomer after they are identified as having died. The search is called off at around 8pm in Sicily, with divers expected to begin again at 6.30am on Friday. Friday 23  August The search continues for the final person missing from the wreck of the Bayesian, Hannah Lynch. Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coastguard, says the search for Hannah has not been "easy or quick", comparing the sunken yacht to an "18-storey building full of water". The coastguard confirms in the late morning that her body has been found. A green body bag is brought to the port of Porticello from the site of the sinking. A spokesperson announces on behalf of the Lynch family that they are "devastated" and "in shock" after the deaths of Mike and Hannah. Hannah's sister Esme pays tribute to her "little angel". Saturday 24 August A press conference is held in the court of an Italian town, Termini Imerese. Public prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio tells reporters that his office has opened an initial investigation against unknown persons into manslaughter and negligent shipwreck. As the focus now turns to the manslaughter investigation, here's another reminder of the seven victims of the sinking and the 15 people who survived.  A close friend of the Lynch family has added to the chorus of tributes for British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, who died in Monday's superyacht sinking. Susannah Gurdun, who lives in Suffolk, recalled being "daunted" when she first met Mr Lynch at a dinner party, before discovering he was "so much more than the corporate cliche". "He was riveting.  He was funny, and kind, and endlessly interesting; capable of talking about anything and everything," she said. Ms Gardun said the businessman also had a "thrilling ability" to make complicated subjects "accessible to those of us less blessed with a science acumen". "In particular, he was wonderful with children.  I will never forget hearing him explain to a group of them - including our ten year old son - the physics of why the sky went pink at sunset," she said. She went on describe Mr Lynch as a "true genius" and "phenomenal creative". Ms Gardun said his daughter Hannah was also showing "serious literary promise", and added that it was "beyond tragic that we will never know where her own particular brilliance might have led". "I still feel blessed to have shared that time with them in Spain.  Not just because I witnessed Mike’s incredible storytelling; but because I was given a chance of understanding what that moment said about all four of them as a united vibrant loving family," she said. "He was an extraordinary human being and it was - truly - a privilege to have known him." A yacht crew member who survived the sinking has paid tribute to Hannah Lynch, calling her a "diamond in a sea of stars". Sasha Murray, chief stewardess of the Bayesian, has released a statement after divers recovered the final missing body from the wreckage, which is believed to be 18-year-old Hannah. "Those who knew her will know that Hannah was a diamond in a sea of stars," she said. "Bright, beautiful and always shining. What most people may not have seen was the extraordinarily strong, deep and loving relationship she shared with her parents, whom she adored more than anything.  "While swimming with them she often said, if anything ever happened she would save them.  "I have no doubt that the Irish, Latina fire that burns in her soul kept that spirited determination alive." Ms Murray's statement comes as a new image of Hannah Lynch and her father Mike Lynch is released: Prosecutors announced in this morning's news conference that they have opened a manslaughter and negligent shipwreck investigation. Officials were unable to answer several queries from the media, saying they needed time to establish the facts, but what are the key questions facing prosecutors?  Why weren't passengers who remained on board the vessel warned about escaping from the yacht? The prosecutor in charge of the case, Raffaele Cammarano, suggested that some passengers may have been asleep when others were awake. Asked why they were not woken up or alerted, he said that is something investigators are trying to work out from the statements of the survivors. He called it an "essential" part of the inquiry. Why were several of the passengers in one cabin? The press conference heard several bodies onboard the sunken yacht were found in a single cabin which was not theirs. Mr Cammarano said investigators currently do not know the reason for them being discovered in the same cabin. The chief of the Palermo fire service, Bentivoglio Fiandra, said the yacht pinned to the right and suggested people tried to go on the other side, taking refuge in cabins in the higher part of the wreck. Why did the boat sink? The vessel had been deemed "unsinkable" by its manufacturer - Italian shipyard Perini Navi. The Bayesian was hit by a downburst, according to Mr Cammarano, which are powerful winds that descend from a thunderstorm and spread out quickly once they hit the ground. Officials will look into the safety equipment on the sunken vessel. Mr Cammarano was asked about whether there is a black box and if the hatches were left open. He said investigators do not have exact information about the black box and that the first phase of the inquiry will look into it. Why were nearby vessels not similarly affected? Another yacht, the Sir Robert BP, was about 150 to 200 metres from the Bayesian when extreme weather hit. Its crew helped to rescue 15 people from the stricken vessel. Italian officials said they would be looking at how the downburst could affect one vehicle and not other nearby vessels. What weather warnings was the Bayesian alerted to? Maritime director of western Sicily, Rear Admiral Raffaele Macauda, said the weather at the time of the yacht's sinking was abnormal and there was nothing to suggest such an extreme situation would arise. He said there were forecasts of winds and a storm alert, but there was no warning of a tornado. "Given that the conditions were such, there wasn't anything to suggest there could be an extreme situation arising," he said. "There are vessels that can monitor, after all, these events and one would have thought that the captain had taken precautions." How long will it take to recover the sailing vessel? Mr Macauda could not confirm how long it would take to retrieve the shipwreck of the sunken yacht. "Everything depends on the availability of the owners and the timeframe of the retrieval of the wreck and of course all that has to be submitted to the port authorities and in parallel of course there will be the inquiry results and it's only really then that we will be able to authorise the operation," he said. "I can't say, like some experts who have already spoken on the subject, [said] that it will be eight weeks." He made clear that the owners will bear the full cost of retrieval, although he could not estimate the figure. Italian authorities detailed the challenging and meticulous rescue operation to recover the six missing people from the Bayesian wreck (see 9.18am post). But why was the five-day search so difficult?  Read more below... More on this morning's press conference.  One of the main updates from prosecutors was that they have opened manslaughter and shipwreck investigations after the deaths of seven people in the Bayesian sinking.  Watch the announcement below... Prosecutors have given a lengthy news conference this morning on their investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian.  Read the full report on the prosecutors' probe below... Marine investigator James Wilkes has been speaking to Sky News after this morning's press conference. "Naturally, there are more questions than there are substantive answers at the moment - that's the nature of investigative work. "Something forced that yacht to roll beyond its nominal stability limits, such that it wasn't able to right itself with the ingress of a certain amount of seawater that was coming into the yacht.  "So the investigators are going to ask themselves one initial question - what must the conditions have been for this to happen?  "Then they are going to look at the contributing factors to the yacht, sinking, and, and the unfortunate loss of life."  Prosecutors said this morning that the future of the investigation is reliant on recovering the wreck.  Mr Wilkes said the yacht is a "major piece of physical evidence in and of itself."  "It's lying at 50 metres, which is a recoverable depth.  "If it was significantly deeper, then I'm not sure they'd be considering salvage at this stage or certainly, the salvage question would be a lot more complicated to answer.  "But if there was the ability to raise that yacht in one piece safely, then it gives the investigators physically more to look at." Mr Wilkes said he was unsure if the yacht would have a "black box" - called a voyage data recorder in shipping.  "It would record things like GPS position, heading speed, engine telemetry, whether the radars were on, what they were recording, alarms, communications from the yacht itself, any audio on the bridge. "But more often than not, these are on merchant ships. The yacht was a commercial yacht in the sense that it could be chartered out so it's quite possible it has a voyage data recorder on, but I'm not sure that it does. I don't know that as a matter of fact," he said.

The search for six people continues after a 56-meter (183-ft) yacht carrying 22 sank in the island's Palermo area in the early morning of Monday, Aug. 19, according to reports.  The Italian coastguard said in a statement, per The Guardian , “This morning at about 5 a.m. following a violent storm, a 56-meter yacht called Bayesian flying the British flag sank near Porticello.”  Eyewitnesses reported that the yacht was anchored when it was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and lost its balance, causing it to sink, per Sicilian news agency Ansa . The body of a man, who has been identified as a cook on the boat from Canada, was recovered near the vessel on Monday morning, local outlet Palermo Today reported.  Two of the missing were later identified by authorities as tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah , who is believed to be 18. Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili dei del Fuoco via Getty Images Two Americans and four British travelers are still among the missing as fire and water rescue teams search to try and locate them, per Ansa, and local news outlet Corriere Della Sera .  Coastguard patrol boats and firefighters rescued 15 people as divers reached 49 ft below the sea surface to the vessel, according to the outlets.  One of those rescued was a 1-year-old English girl named Sophie . She was sent to the Children's Hospital of Palermo, where she was reunited with her mother, who received minor injuries in the incident, per Ansa, The Independent and Corriere Della Sera . Italian Coast Guard via AP The pair remain in “good condition,” the head of the emergency room of the pediatric hospital, Domenico Cipolla, confirmed to latter outlet.  The father was sent to the Civic Hospital in Palermo, and five others rescued were transported to an emergency point at another hospital, Ansa reported.  Footage posted by Italy's fire-and-rescue service, Vigili del Fuoco, shows rescue teams on Friday morning sailing out to sea in their continued search for passengers, with divers entering the water and helicopters flying overhead in an attempt for more findings of the wreckage. According to the tracking website Vesselfinder , the 16-year-old yacht departed a port in Milazzo in Sicily on Wednesday, Aug. 14, and was listed as “at anchor” on Sunday. The ship is managed by Camper and Nicholsons International, per the BBC . Said fisherman Pietro Asciutto, who witnessed the sinking from his home, per Ansa, "I was at home when the tornado hit.
