ROME — Italian rescuers brought ashore the body of the last missing person aboard a superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily.
The woman’s body was discovered on Friday, the Coast Guard said. She has not been officially identified, but Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, is reportedly unknown. The Lynch family were on board The Bayesian, a 56-metre (184ft) British-flagged yacht, when it went down in a storm early on Monday.
Civil defense officials said they believe the ship was hit by an overwater tornado, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.
Mike Lynch’s body was recovered on Thursday. He had celebrated his recent acquittal of fraud charges with his family and the people who had defended him at his trial in the United States.
His wife Angela Bacares was among the 15 survivors.
Divers struggled to find the six bodies trapped in the yacht’s hull 50 meters (164 ft) underwater.
