The remains of all the missing victims were retrieved during the search and rescue operation today off the Italian coast.
Divers battled against a lot of challenges including a ‘world of objects’ that hindered them from reaching the vessel that lay on its side at the bottom of the seabed.
Investigators spoke about how the first two bodies retrieved today were indeed of British tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter. He had reportedly organized this trip to mark his second chance at life after his acquittal from a fraud trial. But who knew his dream would transform into a nightmare?
His wife broke her silence on the heartbreaking discovery and how she was devastated to learn the outcome that most feared.
Lynch and his teenage daughter were two of the five bodies pulled out from inside the wreckage as authorities spoke about how they were entangled in between mattresses that made their exit near to impossible.
The vessel lies 160 feet underwater as confirmed by reports from the UK Telegraph. It comes just hours after the vessel’s captain broke his silence on how he had no idea that the location where he was stationed was going to be battered by severe weather conditions.
For now, the identities of the other victims are yet to be confirmed but they were described by Italian media reports as ‘largely built’ which was evidence of them being the missing men.
