On Wednesday, after three days ofsearching, divers found the bodiesof four passengers inside the yacht. The head of Sicily’s civil protection agency,


Salvatore Cocina, confirmed the recovery of the bodies. The bodies were taken to the shore in Porticello, Sicily, where a large group of rescuers stood by quietly.


The yacht’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was found dead earlier. Fifteen people survived the sinking, but the fate of the remaining six people was unclear until Wednesday. Among the missing were MikeLynch, a British tech entrepreneur, his daughter Hannah, and four others. They were on the yacht to celebrate Mr. Lynch's recent legal victory.
