4 bodies found inside the Bayesian, Mike Lynch family yacht, amid search Show Caption Hide Caption More bodies found inside tech entrepreneur’s family yacht Rescuers deployed an underwater drone to find bodies in a sunken yacht off the coast of Italy. Four bodies were recovered inside the Bayesian superyacht on Wednesday, more than two days after it sank off the coast of Italy, setting off an exhaustive search for six missing people, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch. One body recovered was a heavily built man, Reuters reported. Six of the ship’s 22 passengers, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, went missing after the yacht plunged under the water just before 5 a.m. on Monday as a storm swept across the area. Americans are among the missing, officials have said. The U.K.-registered yacht belonged to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was also on board and was rescued. Ricardo Thomas, the ship’s cook, was found dead on Monday, according to the coast guard. The rescue mission saw a diving team, helicopters and multiple coast guard ships deployed to search the water. Fifteen people were pulled from the water on Monday, and eight were hospitalized in stable condition. Experts have pointed to a water spout, a tornado over the water that can travel up to 120 mph, that formed during the storm, as well as the heavy weight of ship’s mast, one of the largest in the world. Lynch set off on the cruise late last month to celebrate his acquittal on fraud charges in the U.S. that marked a decade of legal challenges, the Associated Press reported. Mike Lynch and Hannah Lynch Mike Lynch, 59, is co-founder of Britain’s largest enterprise software, Autonomy, which was sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2011, and founder of venture capital fund Invoke Capital. Sometimes known as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was slapped with charges after HP said it had uncovered deceit and a major accounting scandal within the firm. In early June, at the end of a 12-week trial, a San Francisco jury acquitted Lynch of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Lynch and Bacares have two daughters and six dogs, all named after engineering parts, according to the U.K.’s Sunday Times in a profile of Lynch from last month. Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, was also among the missing. She was preparing to study English literature at Oxford University, according to the Sunday Times. Hannah is the younger of Mike Lynch’s two daughters, the Times reported. Jonathan Bloomer and Judy Bloomer Jonathan Bloomer is the non-executive chairman of both Morgan Stanley International and the insurer Hiscox, among other companies. Bloomer’s twin brother, Jeremy, told BBC that he is processing the news and the family is waiting to hear updates. “He was my elder by half an hour, so, it means a lot when you lose a twin brother,” Jeremy Bloomer told BBC. “We’ll still wait and see, so it’s fingers crossed.” Jonathan Bloomer’s wife, Judy, is a psychotherapist of nearly three decades and former teacher. Christopher Morvillo and Neda Morvillo A lawyer with Clifford Chance, Chris Morvillo was among the team that represented Mike Lynch during his trial.
