British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch is reported missing after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily amid a severe storm.
The 56-meter yacht, named Bayesian and registered under the British flag, was anchored near the port of Porticello when it was struck by a tornado early on Monday morning, according to a statement from the Italian coastguard.
The coastguard confirmed that one person, believed to be the yacht’s chef, was found dead. Lynch, along with his 18-year-old daughter Hannah and four others, remains unaccounted for. The missing individuals include British, American, and Canadian nationals.
Rescue operations successfully saved fifteen people, including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who owns the yacht, and a one-year-old girl who was rescued by her mother.
As of Monday evening, Lynch's spokesperson has not provided any additional comments.
