Billionaire and tech mogul Mike Lynch has been discovered dead after his superyacht capsized off the coast of Sicily. He was with his teen daughter Hannah and some of his associates before a waterspout–a marine tornado–took his luxury superyacht, the Bayesian, out. This comes after Lynch was aquitted of a US fraud case involving his company, Autonomy. US prosecutors alleged that Lynch took part in a scheme that involved backdating and fabricating sales, and publicly lying about Automy’s finances to tell the company at an inflated price. He was acquitted by a jury. The same Monday the boat capsized and a search began, Stephen Chamberlain, the vice president of finance for Autonomy who was Lynch’s co-defendant in the US fraud case was killed after being struck by a driver in Cambridge, authorities say. Lynch is survived by one daughter and his wife, Angela Bacares, who was among the 15 people aboard the Bayesian to be rescued by emergency services, @evystadium reports.
