Italian divers were on Tuesday continuing their seabed search for the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five other passengers missing after the sinking of a luxury yacht in a “catastrophic” storm off Sicily, as hopes faded of any miracle survival.
Mr Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah were among those still to be found, along with Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of UK insurance firm Hiscox who is also the president of Morgan Stanley International, and his wife Judy, and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.
