Divers find body - believed to be Mike Lynch's daughter
Italian divers have found the last victim after the sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian, sources told Reuters. This morning, the search mission began to find the body of IT entrepreneur Mike Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah. According to Reuters, it is now her body that has been found.
Thus, Mike Lynch and his daughter are among the six confirmed deaths. 15 people managed to save themselves from the luxury yacht when she capsized.
The Telegraph writes that the prosecutor in Termini Imerese has started an investigation into murder. This is to find out what caused the shipwreck that cost six people their lives.

Lynch died in the disaster – the same day as his companion
In June, the British IT billionaire Mike Lynch and his business partner Stephen Chamberlain were acquitted by a San Francisco jury on suspicion of multibillion-dollar fraud. On Monday, Lynch drowned when the luxury yacht Bayesian capsized - the same day Chamberlain was pronounced dead after a road accident in England.
Now experts are asking how the boat could sink in the first place. According to Sky News, the manufacturer says that she is "unsinkable". The 75-meter-high mast is pointed out as a factor that may have caused the boat to capsize when a storm moved in off the coast off Sicily. Likewise, open shutters or an upturned keel can be behind the disaster. Climate change has also been pointed out, as warm surface water could contribute to a so-called water tornado, writes TT.
The close connection in time between the deaths of the two business partners adds to the mystery of the case, writes the New York Times. Chamberlain died after he was hit by a car while jogging near his home.

Five of the six missing bodies aboard the sunken sailing yacht in Italy have been found, Sicilian authorities have told the BBC.
One of them is British tech billionaire Michael Lynch, authorities have previously confirmed. One of those missing is Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer.
A large crowd follows the rescue effort from the harbor in the coastal village of Porticello, and the mood is said to be tense.
15 people were rescued after the accident, and the ship's cook has already been found dead.
