**I would have thought they’d have drowned? So, if anyone else wants to chime in, please do.**

###### [Four victims on Mike Lynch yacht died of suffocation, autopsies suggest](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-four-victims-on-mike-lynch-yacht-died-of-suffocation-autopsies-suggest/)

I**nitial examinations of four of the people killed when[ British tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s family yacht sank off Sicily last month](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-body-of-uk-tech-magnate-lynch-retrieved-from-sunken-yacht-source-says/) indicated they had died of suffocation as oxygen ran out on the stricken vessel,** judicial sources said on Thursday.

**Lynch, his daughter Hannah, an onboard cook and four guests died when the Bayesian, a British flagged 56-metre (184-feet) superyacht, sank** during a severe and sudden weather event off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, on Aug. 19.

**First results from autopsies on four of the victims – Morgan Stanley International chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy, lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda – suggested that they died from suffocation, having been trapped on the ship.**

> **The sinking has puzzled naval experts, who said` a vessel like the Bayesian,` built by Perini, a high-end yacht manufacturer owned by The Italian Sea Group,** `<strong>should have withstood the storm and, in any case, should not have sunk as quickly as it did</strong>.`
