Search Underway for Missing Passengers from Sunken Yacht

Mike Lynch, a prominent UK tech entrepreneur, is missing, along with his daughter, following the sinking of his superyacht, Bayesian, off the Sicilian coast due to severe weather conditions. The vessel, which had 15 people on board, sank early Monday morning, with one confirmed fatality, the chef, and several others still missing. Lynch was recently acquitted in a high-profile fraud case related to the $11 billion sale of his company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard. Panic ensued among friends and family, including fellow entrepreneur Scott Painter, who confirmed he was not on board. Search efforts are ongoing, with divers exploring the wreck located 160 feet underwater. The incident has sparked speculation due to the mysterious timing of Lynch’s colleague's recent death just days prior to the yacht's sinking.
