A shipwreck off the coast of Sicily has left one person dead and six missing, including British tycoon Mike Lynch. The 56-meter luxury yacht 'Bayesian' sank during a storm, with 15 survivors being rescued.
Lynch, who was recently acquitted of fraud charges, was on board with his wife. The Italian Coast Guard and prosecutors have launched investigations into the incident.
The yacht, owned by Lynch, was carrying 22 people, mostly British nationals. Lynch's co-defendant in the fraud trial, Stephen Chamberlain, was critically injured in a car accident just days before the shipwreck.
The tragedy has shocked the tech community, as Lynch is known for his entrepreneurial success and contributions to the industry. The sinking of the yacht has raised questions about the safety of sailing during inclement weather and the potential risks of waterspouts.
The search and rescue efforts continue as authorities work to determine the cause of the shipwreck and locate the missing individuals.
