Body brought ashore in Sicily yacht wreck search operation


Porticello (Italy) (AFP) – Emergency workers bring a body ashore during the search operation for six missing people following the sinking of a superyacht off the Sicilian coast. Two bodies have now been found by the divers, according to a source close to the search, bringing the confirmed death toll to three. The 56-metre British-flagged “Bayesian” was anchored with 10 crew and 12 passengers on board when it was struck by a waterspout, akin to a mini-tornado, before dawn on 19 August.
