Autopsy Confirms Suffocation as Cause of Death in Bayesian Yacht Tragedy

Initial forensic results reveal that most victims, including tech tycoon Mike Lynch, died from lack of oxygen after being trapped in cabins.

  • Mike Lynch, his daughter, and several guests died when the yacht sank off Sicily's coast during a storm.
  • Autopsies indicate four victims, including Lynch, died from 'dry drowning' due to confined air pockets.
  • The yacht's design and rapid sinking have puzzled naval experts and prompted further investigation.
  • Fifteen people survived the incident, including Lynch's wife and the yacht's captain.
  • Authorities are exploring potential culpability of the captain and crew members in the vessel's sinking.
