British tech tycoon Mike Lynch is said to be among those still unaccounted for after the Bayesian sank. The missing include four Britons and two Americans, five of whom have been identified publicly.
It includes Mr Lynch, who was recently acquitted of fraud after a trial in the US over the sale of Autonmy to HP in 2011, his daughter Hannah and Jonathan Bloomer, who is Morgan Stanley’s International chair.
The Italian Coastguard had not previously ruled out the possibility that those missing, including technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, might still be alive, with experts speculating that air pockets could have formed as the yacht sank.
