Tech entrepreneur and daughter Hannah Lynch missing after yacht sinks near Sicily
Mike Lynch, a British tech entrepreneur who once ranked on the Forbes billionaire list and founded software company Autonomy that over the past decade has been mired in legal problems, is reportedly missing alongside five others after a yacht sank off the coast of Sicily Monday morning.
A luxury yacht carrying 22 people sank off the coast of Sicily on Monday morning. Fifteen people were rescued from the ship, while one was found dead and six more remain missing—including both Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, multiple news outlets reported.
Two Americans are among those missing, according to multiple reports. Eight of those rescued from the vessel are receiving treatment at a nearby hospital. The yacht sank after being hit by a tornado, according to the Italian coast guard.
