British tech billionaire Mike Lynch has tragically died in a yacht accident off the coast of Sicily. Lynch, who was recently acquitted of fraud charges, was on his unsinkable superyacht Bayesian when it sank after being hit by a waterspout.

The incident claimed several lives, including those of Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter. A total of 15 people were rescued, while divers recovered the bodies of the other victims.

The nearby ship Sir Robert Baden Powell played a crucial role in the rescue operation. Lynch, known for founding Autonomy and Invoke Capital, had spent years battling legal issues before being cleared of all charges.

The yacht sinking is being investigated, with questions arising about the yacht's safety and the crew's actions. The tech community and friends of Lynch have paid tribute to his genius and achievements in the industry.
