The final moments of the seven people who died in the Bayesian tragedy have been revealed by a fire brigade chief.

British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among the seven people who died after the Bayesian superyacht sank near Porticello at about 5am local time on Monday (19 August).

A manslaughter investigation has now been launched.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday (24 August), the fire brigade chief of Palermo, Bentivoglio Fiandra explained more about what is believed to have happened on board.

Mr Fiandra said: “The Bayesian sank stern-first and then rolled onto its right side.

“As a result, the victims tried to move on the left side of the boat, where the last air pockets remained.”
