Photograph: Jonathan Brady/PA WireThe public prosecutor’s office of Termini Imerese, headed by Ambrogio Cartosio, announced the investigation, saying it was not aimed at any individual person. Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, was among those who died when the family’s 56-metre-long boat, the Bayesian, capsized during a fierce, predawn storm on Monday off Porticello, near Palermo.
Cutfield and the other survivors have been questioned by the coast guard on behalf of prosecutors. None of them have commented publicly on how the ship went down. Hannah Lynch’s body was discovered on Friday by divers who scoured the submerged vessel for the past five days. The five other dead passengers were recovered on Wednesday and Thursday, while the body of the only crew member who died, on-board chef Recaldo Thomas, was found on Monday.
