The sinking of the luxury yacht, BBC: It is being investigated for murder, the

Prosecutors in Italy said they are in the early stages of investigating a so-called "hypothesis of crime" and manslaughter in connection with the sinking of the luxury yacht Bayesian, which killed its owner, tech mogul Mike Lynch, also known as Bill Britain's Gates, his 18-year-old daughter, and associates who had recently successfully defended him in a federal trial in the United States where he was accused of financial fraud.

Rather than from the tornado in the area, the yacht, according to investigators, could be due to water filling. Of the 22 people on board, 15, including the crew members, survived the sinking of the boat. Prosecutors think that at the time when the tragedy happened, the victims were asleep.

"First, there can be no certainty about the behavior of the deceased. But the position in which they were found makes you think that they tried to escape, but they couldn't," said Raffaele Cammarano, Deputy Prosecutor of Termini Imerese.

The victims, according to the investigators, had tried to find salvation by gathering on the left side of the boat, which began to fill with water, and then tilted to the right. The investigation will examine the reasons why the crew escaped and managed to get into the lifeboat, while the passengers could not.

It will also be seen how quickly the rescue teams really arrived at the scene. Yachts like the Bayesian have an underwater shaft that helps them maintain stability, but which must be retracted to approach shallow shores. Such boats must also have watertight subdivisions, which are specially designed to prevent a catastrophic rapid sinking, even if some parts fill with water.
