Bayesian investigators of yacht sinking reveal new details of tragic search | World News

British technology mogul Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among those rescued after the Bayesian sank near Porticello at around 5 a.m. local time on Monday.

Ambrogio Cartosio, prosecutor of the nearby town of Termini Imerese, said today in a press conference at the municipal court that his office had opened initial investigations into manslaughter, according to a translation.

He added that an investigation was underway against unknown persons.

It was also announced at the press conference that no autopsies have been performed so far.

When a journalist asked whether a black box had been found on board the wreck, he was told that the focus so far had been on recovering the missing persons and therefore no search had yet been carried out for the black box – if there was one.

This will happen after the boat has been recovered, it was said.

The body of Canadian-Antiguan citizen Recaldo Thomas, who worked as a cook on the superyacht, was recovered from the scene of the accident on Monday.

Morgan Stanley International Bank CEO Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance attorney Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo were later rescued from the rubble.
