The BBC is reporting that Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter is also missing. Lynch’s wife and 14 other people survived.

The luxury yacht was carrying 22 passengers. Italian authorities confirmed that the incident unfolded in the early hours of Monday when a waterspout hit the area where the British-flagged vessel, Bayesian, had been anchored close to Palermo.
