The SAR Team Is Still Looking For 6 Missing Persons, Including Mike Lynch, Victim Of The Yacht Ship Drowning In Sicily

JAKARTA - Rescue teams in Sicily continue their search for six missing people, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, as a result of the sinking of a luxury cruise ship after being hit by a devastating storm.

The British-flagged Bayesian sailing ship, 56 meters long carrying 22 people, docked off port Porticello when hit by bad weather.

Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International and Chris Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford Chance who represented Lynch in a long-standing trial in the US, was among the missing people.

The wives of the two men have also not been found, said Salvatore Cocina, head of Civil Protection in Sicily.

The dive team reached the location of the sinking of the ship on Monday at a depth of about 50 meters. However, access is limited due to objects blocking it.

It was reported that 15 people rushed to save themselves before the ship sank, including Lynch's wife, Angela Kabares.

On Monday, rescue teams found the body of the cruise ship's chef, identified as an Antiguan citizen, Ricardo Thomas.
