The bodies of Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah were recovered on Wednesday, from the wreckage of the sunken luxury Bayesian yacht, reported The Telegraph newspaper citing authorities. Quoting Sicily's civil protection chief, Salvo Cocina, The Telegraph also confirmed that the rescue divers also located two additional bodies, which are in the process of recovery. Diving teams were seen bringing a green body bag back to the port of Porticello, where numerous emergency services personnel were on standby. The bodies were discovered inside one of the yacht’s cabins, located between two mattresses, the report added. The discovery of Mike Lynch and his daughter marks the second and third victims recovered from the shipwreck, following the earlier retrieval of the yacht’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, whose remains were found shortly after the vessel sank. The missing individuals now include - Jonathan Bloomer, non-executive chairman of Morgan Stanley International, his wife, Judy Bloomer, lawyer Chris Morvillo, who represented Lynch, and Morvillo's wife, Neda Morvillo. Six people were missing since early Monday after the Bayesian sank during a violent storm off the coast of Sicily. The 56-metre British yacht was carrying 22 people and had anchored near the port of Porticello when it was struck by what is believed to have been a storm/tornado or waterspout.
