Four of the seven victims killed in the Bayesian superyacht wreck were trapped alive inside the ship’s cabins and suffocated to death, according to their autopsies.
Lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda, along with Morgan Stanley Bank International Chair Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy, all died of asphyxiation after the yacht’s air pockets ran out of oxygen, not from drowning, Italian outlet La Repubblica reported.
The $33 million vessel ran into a sudden, violent storm off the coast of northern Sicily and sank in the early hours of August 19.
