Press conference by Italian authorities in Termini Imerse, Sicily about the sinking of the superyacht Bayesian near the harbour of Porticello.Speakers:Chief prosecutor - Ambrogio CartosioFire brigade chief of Palermo - Bentivoglio FiandraProsecutor - Raffaele Cammarano--------------ENG TRANSLATION HERE ----------------AMBROGIO CARTOSIOIt was assessed that there were 22 people in total on board and 7 of them were missing.The first body recovered was that of the boat's chef, Recaldo Thomas, and it was immediately clear that finding alive any of the six missing people would be very difficult.Four of the victims were recovered on August 21st: Jonathan William Bloomer and his wife, and Christopher Morvillo and his wife.All of them were found inside the boat by the diving teams. Another victim, Mike Lynch, was retrieved on 22 August. His 18-year-old daughter's body, Hannah, was recovered on August 23rd, which deeply moved the rescue team.I can confirm that prosecutor's office is currently investigating a so-called "crime hypothesis" of shipwreck and manslaughter against unknown persons. However we are only at a very early stage of the investigation and the developments can be unpredictable, we are not currently excluding any hypothesis.BENTIVOGLIO FIANDRABayesian sank stern-first and then rolled onto its right side.As a result, the victims tried to move on the left side of the boat, where the last air pockets remained.There was a total of 6 cabins in the yacht. We found the first five bodies in the first cabin on the left and the last one, Hannah Lynch's one, in the third cabin on the left.All six people gathered on the highest side of the boat, the one facing the surface.RAFFAELE CAMMARANOWe need to consider that the even happened through different phasis and we need to assess those also with data and information on the yacht's movements before the event.
