CNN —Authorities in Italy have opened a manslaughter investigation into the sinking of a superyacht, which killed British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and six others off the coast of Sicily earlier this week.
Seven bodies have been recovered over the past four days, with divers working nearly 50 meters (160 feet) underwater to retrieve them.
Italian authorities have confirmed who was missing from the Bayesian, but have not yet released a coroner’s report to formally name those found.
While the reasons for the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht remain unconfirmed, many believe the yacht was struck by a waterspout — one of several types of tornadoes.
The coast guard reported the yacht was struck by a tornado, and a waterspout was reported to the European Severe Weather Database around the same time.
