British technology tycoon Mike Lynch, his wife and 18-year-old daughter and Morgan Stanley boss Jonathan Bloomer were among those on board the Bayesian superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily.
Twenty-two people were on board the superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday. The British-flagged vessel named Bayesian was carrying 12 passengers and 10 members of crew when it got into difficulty at around 4.30am, the Italian coastguard said. A man is confirmed to have died, while six people are missing and another 15 were rescued. Here's what we know about who was on board.
Hiscox said in its statement: 'Our thoughts are with all those affected, in particular our chair, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife Judy, who are among the missing.' Mrs Bloomer is on the board of The Eve Appeal charity, which focuses on gynaecological cancers. The charity described her as a 'brilliant champion for women's health and medical research... an incredible supporter, committee member, and trustee of our charity for over 20 years'.
