- Two individuals found within the submerged watercraft.
Approximately two and a half days following the sinking of the high-end yacht "Bayesian" off the Sicilian coast, divers exploring the submerged vessel uncovered two additional deceased individuals. The news outlet ANSA, as cited by authorities, reported this discovery.
Based on current information, six individuals are estimated to have been on board. Only the body of the ship's chef has been retrieved thus far. The underlying reason for the incident remains shrouded in mystery. The captain was interrogated by law enforcement for an extended period.
The approximately 50-meter-long "Bayesian," which served as the travel vessel for British tycoon Mike Lynch and his family and guests, currently rests at a depth of around 50 meters. According to the fire department, the vessel is positioned on its side, thereby complicating underwater operations. On Tuesday, professional divers from the fire department managed to initially inspect certain sections beneath the bridge prior to reaching the cabins.
The "Bayesian" succumbed to the waves early Monday morning during a severe storm with harsh winds, just off the Porticello port. There were 22 individuals aboard in total. Fifteen were saved and transported to safety.
However, the likelihood of discovering any survivors now stands at nearly zero. The missing list includes four British nationals and two American citizens, including Lynch himself and his 18-year-old daughter. His wife was fortunately rescued.
The authorities are still searching for the remaining individuals specified in the missing list, which includes four British nationals and two American citizens. Despite the challenging conditions due to the submerged vessel being on its side, other professional dive teams have been requested for assistance.
