Final body from sunken luxury boat found near Sicily.
The tragic news of the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily has left many in mourning. The vessel, owned by British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, was carrying 22 passengers and crew members when it encountered a violent storm on Monday. Amidst the chaos and devastation, the body of Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah Lynch, has been recovered from the wreckage, along with six other victims.

After days of searching, Italian authorities were able to retrieve the final body of Hannah Lynch on Friday. A CNN team on the ground witnessed divers bringing the body bag onto the harbor of Porticello, marking the end of the five-day search. The wreck, located nearly 50 meters underwater, made the search difficult as divers only had a limited amount of time to explore the cabins before having to resurface.

Hannah's father, Mike Lynch, was also among the victims recovered from the wreckage. The British interior ministry confirmed his identification on Thursday. The tragedy has left the Lynch family devastated and in shock. In a statement, a family spokesperson expressed their gratitude to the Italian coast guard and emergency services for their efforts in the rescue, and requested privacy during this time of immense grief.

Hannah, who was set to begin studying English literature at the University of Oxford, was described as a bright and passionate student by her teacher Jon Mitropoulos-Monk. Her friend Katya Lewis also shared heartfelt words, describing Hannah's love for life and her warm and beautiful soul. Hannah's mother, Angela Bacares, survived the shipwreck and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Sicily.

As the investigation continues, questions still remain about how the 56-meter yacht sank so quickly. Unverified security footage appears to show a waterspout, a type of tornado, approaching and sinking the vessel. The owner of a nearby villa, who witnessed the tragedy, captured the event on his CCTV and described the ship disappearing in just 60 seconds. The CEO of the yacht's manufacturer, Giovanni Constantino, has also raised concerns about potential mistakes made by the crew during the storm.

Despite the search for answers, the focus remains on honoring the lives lost in this tragic event. The Lynch family and the families of the other victims are in the thoughts of many as they try to come to terms with this unimaginable loss.
