Six others are missing after a luxury superyacht was struck by a violent storm off the coast of Sicily on Monday, officials confirmed.
The vessel, a 56-metre-long British-flagged sailboat named “Bayesian,” went down off the Sicilian capital Palermo with 22 people on board shortly before sunrise, the Italian coast guard said in a statement.
A Canadian is among those missing, as well as two Americans and four Britons.

One of the missing people is British tech magnate Mike Lynch, who was acquitted in June in a big U.S. fraud trial that delved into the history of Hewlett Packard’s 2011, US$11 billion acquisition of Autonomy, a business software firm founded by Lynch.
The fraud accusations represented a dramatic turn in the fortunes of an entrepreneur once described as the Bill Gates of Britain — a title he seemed to live up to when he netted $800 million from the Autonomy sale.
