Additional details are emerging about the tragedy in Sicily.
After a super yacht was sunk by a storm while anchored off the Italian island August 19, authorities have confirmed the identities of the six still-missing passengers.
British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his daughter, Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, as well as Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife remain missing, Director of Sicily’s Civil Protection Agency Salvatore Cocina told NBC News.
While Cocina did not share the names of Lynch’s daughter, nor Morvillo and Bloomers’ spouses, the latter two have been identified as Judy Bloomer and Neda Morvillo by their husband’s employers.
Cocina previously confirmed Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares had been rescued. Their 18-year-old daughter Hannah remains among the missing passengers, per NBC News.
While the six passengers are still missing, the body of the ship’s cook, identified by Antiguan News Room as Antiguan citizen Ricardo Thomas, was previously retrieved from the water.
