Two more bodies found on sunken luxury yacht off coast of Sicily, reports say

A body has been pulled from the water near the site of a sunken luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily as reports suggested two more missing people had been found by divers.

Sicily’s civil protection agency confirmed to the BBC that two bodies had been found in the yacht which sank at around 5am on Monday.

On Wednesday afternoon, a green body bag was taken back to the port of Porticello where dozens of emergency services staff were waiting.

The Italian Coastguard previously did not rule out the possibility that those missing, including technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, may still be alive, with experts speculating air pockets could have formed as the yacht sank.
