British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, often called “Britain’s Bill Gates,” is among six missing after a luxury superyacht, the 184-foot Bayesian, sank off the coast of Sicily.
The yacht, carrying foreign tourists, capsized in bad weather, resulting in one confirmed death and six missing, while 15 people were rescued, including a 1-year-old girl.
The Italian coast guard reported that the vessel overturned early Monday near Palermo. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with deep-water divers attempting to access the sunken yacht, Fox News has reported.
Storms and heavy rainfall have recently impacted Italy, contributing to the tragic incident.
