Bayesian yacht tragedy: who is UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch?

The Standard

The search for British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter resumed on Tuesday after a luxury yacht sank in a tornado off the coast of Sicily.

One person is confirmed dead after 56-metre superyacht Bayesian hit a violent storm with 22 aboard, causing the mast to break and the vessel to be thrown off balance in strong winds.

Cave divers are trying to access the Bayesian, as Sicily’s Civil Protection said Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer was among six missing.

Fifteen people were rescued, including a mother and her one-year-old daughter.

Plus, Taylor Swift bows out from Wembley Stadium with nearly three-quarters of a million Swifties enjoying the show over a record-breaking eight nights in total.
