Summary
Italian authorities say a fifth body has been found in the search for those missing from the “Bayesian” superyacht, which sank off the coast of Sicily earlier in the week. The news comes after four bodies were found by divers earlier Wednesday, though the identities of those found remain unclear. The British-flagged vessel sank early Monday – killing at least one of 22 people on board – after its mast, one of the world’s tallest, broke in half during a violent storm.
The yacht sank after a small waterspout – a type of tornado – spun over the Mediterranean island. Emergency crews have attempted to make their way further inside the wreck, with hopes of finding survivors dwindling.
