Recovered devices may shed light on why the Bayesian sank during a sudden storm off Sicily, killing seven people.

  • Italian Navy divers have retrieved video surveillance systems, computers, and hard drives from the wreck of the Bayesian.
  • The superyacht sank on August 19 off the coast of Sicily during a severe storm, resulting in the deaths of tech tycoon Mike Lynch, his daughter, and five others.
  • Investigators hope the recovered equipment will provide crucial data to understand the rapid capsizing of the yacht.
  • Three crew members, including the New Zealand captain, are under investigation for manslaughter and shipwreck, though no formal charges have been filed.
  • Plans are underway to salvage the yacht from its current position 50 meters underwater to assist further investigations.
