Manslaughter investigation launched into superyacht sinking

Italian prosecutors looking into offences of ‘shipwreck and multiple counts of culpable homicide against an unknown person’

A manslaughter investigation into the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht is being considered by Italian authorities, according to reports.
The prosecutor’s office of Termini Imerese is making inquiries into why the luxury yacht capsized off the coast of Porticello at around 5am on Monday, a source close to the prosecution team said.
The team, led by Ambrogio Cartosio, is looking into offences of “shipwreck and multiple counts of culpable homicide against an unknown person”, similar to manslaughter charges in the UK, according to Palermo Today.
The prosecutor’s office has announced a press conference for Saturday morning, with more details expected to be released. It would not confirm the investigation to The Telegraph.
The body of Mike Lynch, the UK tech entreptreneur, is believed to be among the five bodies recovered from the wreckage. 
The sixth body was discovered on Friday morning and is believed to be that of Hannah Lynch, Mr Lynch’s teenage daughter.
Fifteen of the 22 passengers and crew on board, including Angela Bacares, Mr Lynch’s wife, were rescued by emergency crews after the yacht suffered catastrophic damage following a waterspout.
The group had been invited on board to celebrate Mr Lynch’s court victory after he was acquitted of fraud in San Francisco earlier this summer.
A few boats carrying divers left Porticello shortly after 12pm local time to go to the site of the sinking.
