The body of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter was retrieved from the wreckage of the Bayesian superyacht Friday — as Italian authorities reportedly launched a manslaughter probe into what caused the tragedy.
Hannah Lynch was the last remaining person still unaccounted for after the yacht sank off the coast of Sicily after being struck by a storm on Monday – sparking a massive search and rescue operation.
“The Lynch family is devastated, in shock and is being comforted and supported by family and friends,” a family spokesperson said in confirming her body had been found Friday.
“Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. They would like to sincerely thank the Italian coastguard, emergency services and all those who helped in the rescue.”
The teen’s body was discovered – and brought ashore – around noon local time by specialist divers who have been scouring the sunken vessel for the past five days, the Italian Coast Guard said.
The fire brigade had earlier described the rescue operations, which involved more than 400 people, including 28 specialist divers, as “long and delicate.”
The body of yacht owner Lynch was recovered Thursday, a day after rescuers found the bodies of five of his passengers, including New York attorney Christopher Morvillo and the lawyer’s wife, Neda.
The discovery of the final body came as Italian authorities launched a manslaughter investigation into what downed the $40 million yacht after it was struck by an intense storm early Monday, local media reported.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Termini Imerese had started making inquiries and was looking at a slew of offenses — including “shipwreck and multiple counts of culpable homicide against an unknown person”, sources told Palermo Today.

Help me understand this. Are they considering charges against the captain/crew for negligence or something more nefarious?
HAARP.
They may have found evidence that pointed them towards a deliberate or an avoidable accidental act.
They may also just be starting at this point and see where the evidence leads.
Heartbreaking new details on where Hannah Lynch’s body was found after yacht tragedy
Whats the Baysian probability that its her?
Small fishing boats nearby unharmed. Co-defendant in the case killed by a car in the UK a couple of days earlier.
Someone cleaning up loose ends.
I just read the crew left the boat with people still sleeping on the ship. With employees like that, who needs enemies?
Who, the Universe? Not any human.
bkmk
That was a cool show, Grim Reapers job to help newly dead, gravelings, yeah lots of dead people, it’s a job, lol
Laura Harris was hot blonde as Daisy Adair, she was also pretty much nude in The Faculty, alien invasion, Marybeth.

They went for a “three hour tour” when Poseidon(Neptune) was not in Ethiopia at a feast in his honor.
All the ancients knew that the Ethiopian feast days were the safest time to sail!
The design with such a tall mast and raised keel is inherently unstable. People have had concerns for awhile.
From my experience, not all but many “rich” people treat employees worse than garden tools. Of course they will be treated as enemies whenever the opportunity presents itself...
We know the ship sank extremely quickly. Some of the speculation for “why” is that some watertight doors that should have been sealed may have been left open.
I don’t know if there is any actual evidence, but the boat manufacturer is claiming that a waterline / beach club door at the stern of the boat that should have closed as soon as the passengers came back on board was left open. Ther is also a bulkhead door between the engineers cabin and the engine room that the engineer would have needed to go through regularly and may have been left open out of convenience / laziness. If both were in fact open that would explain the rapid sinking.
But as far as I know this is all speculation.
Rich folk paying minimum wage got minimum service?
“I don’t know if there is any actual evidence”
Well, the rescue crews found the bulkhead and access doors in one state or another so there is evidence.
