5 bodies found in same cabin of Mike Lynch’s superyacht: investigators

“We found five bodies in a cabin on the left and one more in the third cabin on the left. They were on top of the wreck,” he added, per The Telegraph.

Prosecutors say they have opened a manslaughter investigation into the sinking.

Ambrogio Cartosio, head of the Termini Imerese prosecutor’s office, said he was investigating a “murder hypothesis” of wrongful shipwreck and manslaughter.

The Bayesian, a 184-foot superyacht, sank on August 19 off the coast of Porticello, Sicily.

Autonomy founder Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah are among seven people confirmed to have died in the incident.

Lynch was on the yacht with friends and family, celebrating his recent acquittal in a fraud trial.

In June, he won the 12-year legal battle for his technology company.

Stephen Chamberlain, a former vice president of finance at Autonomy who was also a defendant in the fraud suit, died in a separate incident just days before the Bayesian sank.

Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife, Judy, also died after the yacht went down.

A second couple, Christopher and Neda Morvillo, also died in the sinking. Christopher Morvillo was a partner at Clifford Chance and was Lynch’s lawyer.

A cook on the yacht, Recaldo Thomas, was the only crew member to die in the incident.
