After two days of search-and-rescue efforts, British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer and four others were feared dead aboard the sunken wreckage of a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily.
As rescue operations drew to a close on Tuesday, Italian coast guard spokesman Vincenzo Zagarola said: “It would be reasonable to think that we are more likely to find the missing people inside the boat.” The search, however, will continue, he said.
