British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch's body has been recovered after the luxury yacht Bayesian sank off Sicily's coast near Porticello during a freak storm.

The 18-year-old daughter of Lynch, Hannah, is still missing.

Six bodies have been retrieved from the wreck, while 15 people survived, including Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares and a one-year-old child.

Among the deceased are Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy, and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo.
