Mike Lynch’s friend mourns ‘unbelievably tragic’ death after fraud trial acquittal

Mike Lynch’s legacy “should be celebrated” a friend has said, following his death.

The body of the technology tycoon has been recovered after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily earlier this week.

His 18-year-old daughter reportedly remains missing.

After news of Lynch’s death was confirmed, his friend Brent Hoberman described him as “a titan and a figurehead”.

“We were all hoping for a miracle,” Mr Hoberman told Sky News.

“It is important - now his passing is confirmed - to think about his legacy... It’s important that his legacy is celebrated.”
