Overview

• Salvage operations for the Bayesian were suspended following the death of Dutch diver Robcornelis Maria Huijben Uiben during an oxy-fuel cutting procedure.
• An explosion, likely caused by hydrogen bubbles during cutting, propelled a metal fragment that fatally struck the diver, according to initial investigations.
• The Procura di Termini Imerese has seized the site and launched a criminal investigation into the diver's death, with an autopsy pending for further clarity.
• New findings suggest the yacht may have taken on water through a cracked window in the engine room prior to the storm, challenging prior theories on its sinking.
• The Bayesian, once considered 'inaffondabile,' sank in August 2024, claiming seven lives, including prominent figures, and remains under intense legal and forensic scrutiny.
