Porticello: The body of British businessman Mike Lynch was recovered on Thursday from the wreckage of his yacht which sank in a storm off Italy's Sicily coast on Monday. A senior official said Lynch's daughter Hannah is still missing. The 56-meter long yacht, The Bayesian, was anchored near Porticello when the tornado hit. Lynch was recently acquitted in the US in an $11 billion fraud case. He was considered Britain's Bill Gates.

14 other people were rescued

The yacht had a crew of 10 and 12 passengers. Lynch's wife Angela Bakares and 14 others were rescued. Italian authorities recovered four bodies on Wednesday. One body was recovered on Monday.

It may take time to find Hannah's body

Fire brigade spokesman Luca Cari said that it may take time to find Hannah's body, as the yacht is at a depth of 165 feet. A judicial investigation has been started into this disaster. Ambrogio Cartosio, who is leading the investigation, is going to hold a press conference on Saturday.
