The Italian Coast Guard has confirmed the discovery of the final missing person from the superyacht that tragically sank off the coast of Sicily. The body, found in the wreckage on Friday, has yet to be identified.

Among the missing is Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British tech magnate Mike Lynch. The Lynch family was aboard The Bayesian, a 56-metre British-flagged yacht, which succumbed to a storm early Monday.

Officials believe the yacht was struck by a waterspout, leading to its swift sinking. Mike Lynch's body was found on Thursday, and his wife, Angela Bacares, is one of the 15 survivors.
