The report indicated that the yacht was at a 90-degree angle mere moments after the winds hit, with flooding occurring rapidly. Tragically, seven out of the 22 people onboard were lost, including Lynch, his daughter, and several prominent figures, with only 15 managing to escape to safety. The MAIB is still conducting its investigation, which has been complicated by ongoing criminal inquiries in Italy. The effort to recover the 56-meter vessel was recently paused due to the death of a diver, but operations are set to continue soon.
