New details emerge on yacht tragedy that claimed lives of billionaire and his friends

Tengrinews.kz - New details have emerged about the deaths of British billionaire Mike Lynch, his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, lawyer Chris Morvillo, the chairman of Morgan Stanley's international board of directors Jonathan Bloomer, and other distinguished guests on the yacht Bayesian, which sank off the coast of Sicily, according to "Московский комсомолец".

Some interesting facts surfaced after the publication of the pathologists' report from the Institute of Forensic Pathology of Palermo. The forensic experts made a number of unexpected conclusions.

As it turned out, the people remained alive for quite a while as the yacht was sinking to a depth of about 50 meters. There was no water in their lungs, indicating that they did not drown. It is suggested that during the flooding, the passengers gathered in one of the cabins, believing that the water would reach it last.

The captain of one of the vessels near the sunken yacht Bayesian reported that he saw more than ten people trying to stay afloat among the wreckage of the vessel and a lifeboat. When the storm subsided, he headed to the crash site and rescued 15 people, including a one-year-old child.
