The NYC lawyer who died on the yacht wrote a chilling post on LinkedIn months ago

The top lawyer for the late British tech billionaire Mike Lynch wrote a chilling LinkedIn post just two months before the superyacht tragedy – a note that ended with the phrase “They all lived happily ever after”.

His LinkedIn post discussed the “thrilling verdict” after “years of painstaking work.”

He thanked members of his law firm, Clifford Chance and Steptoe LLP, with whom he worked on the case. His post also included a June 14 article from ALM, a legal publication, that named him one of its “Litigators of the Week.”

Then came the last two paragraphs, which touched on how happy Morvillo was to be back home with his family.

“And finally, a big thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, bright, beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo,” he wrote. “None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I’m so glad to be home.”

“And they all lived happily ever after,” he added.

Morvillo was one of seven passengers killed out of 22 people aboard Lynch’s 183-foot superyacht named “Bayesian.” The yacht sank in stormy weather near Palermo, Italy, on August 19.

Fifteen people, including Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, and the ship’s captain, James Cutfield of New Zealand, were rescued from the sinking ship.

Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, Morvillo’s wife Neda and Morgan Stanley international chairman Jonathan Bloomer died in the tragedy.

Lynch’s co-defendant in the fraud trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died after being hit by a car just two days before Lynch’s yacht sank.

Morvillo’s representatives at Clifford Chance did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
