Four Bodies From Bayesian Yacht Found in Sicily

After three days of searching the hull of a sailing yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily, divers on Wednesday recovered the bodies of four passengers who were believed to have been trapped inside their cabins when the vessel went down, officials in Sicily said.

The yacht, the Bayesian, with 10 crew members and 12 passengers, was caught in what some witnesses described as a waterspout, essentially a small tornado on water, during a sudden and violent downpour in the pre-dawn hours of Monday.

The recovery of the four bodies was confirmed by Salvatore Cocina, head of Sicily’s civil protection agency, but officials have not yet identified them publicly. Body bags were lifted from a firefighting vessel in Porticello, Sicily, on Wednesday afternoon as a large group of rescuers stood by in their uniforms.

On the dock, a crowd of reporters and bystanders watched on in near complete silence, as a ******* bell tolled in the background.

Although 15 people made it to safety and the yacht’s cook was confirmed *****, the fate of the remaining six people, including a British tech entrepreneur, Mike ******, had been formally unresolved until the update on Wednesday.

In addition to Mr. ******, the remaining people who had been identified as missing by the authorities were his daughter Hannah; Jonathan Bloomer, the chairman of Morgan Stanley International; his wife, Judy Bloomer; Christopher J. Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford Chance; and his wife, Neda Morvillo.

They were part of a group of people celebrating a legal victory for Mr. ******, who was acquitted in June of ****** charges tied to the ***** of his company, Autonomy, to the tech giant Hewlett-Packard.

The body of the yacht’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, who held ********* and Antiguan citizenship, was recovered earlier from the water, the Sicilian civil protection agency said.

Deep sea divers with the Vigili del Fuoco, Italy’s firefighting corps, were able to reach the bodies after dealing with what Luca Cari, their spokesman, described as “very difficult” conditions.

The yacht had settled on its side, about 165 feet below the surface, and divers could only remain underwater for a limited amount of time. To complicate matters, they had to navigate through broken furnishings and electrical wiring that blocked the tight spaces inside the hull.
