Watch as the search continued to find Hannah Lynch after the body of her father, British tech magnate Mike Lynch, was retrieved on Thursday (22 August) following the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily on Monday.

The final body, believed to be that of the 18-year-old, has been found in Italian waters four days after the Bayesian superyacht sank, the Italian Coast Guard has said.

A green body bag was taken to the port of Porticello from the site of the sinking, meaning all missing passengers have now been found.

The British tech entrepreneur’s superyacht, carrying 22 passengers and crew, sank off Sicily earlier this week.

The bodies of Mr Lynch, Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo, have all been recovered from the wreckage and identified.

Hannah’s mother, Angela Bacares, was among the 15 survivors who were rescued from a lifeboat after the boat dramatically sank in minutes at around 5am.

The teenager had been due to study English at University of Oxford having recently finished her A-levels, The Times reported.
