Rescue ships operate off Porticello near Palermo, on August 22, 2024, three days after the British-flagged luxury yacht Bayesian sank. All the men missing after a luxury yacht sank off Sicily -- who included UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch -- have been found, a coastguard official told. The official did not identify Lynch by name, after reports that his was the latest body pulled from the wreck of the "Bayesian", but confirmed that of three men and three women who had been missing, authorities were now only searching for a female.
