Bodies recovered and fatal errors: details on the sinking of the Bayesian sailboat

 A fifth body has already been located inside the wreck and is expected to be retrieved today. The four recovered bodies are those of Jonathan Bloomer, the president of Morgan Stanley International, his wife Anne Elizabeth, the lawyer Chris Morvillo, and his wife Nada. Still missing are the British entrepreneur and yacht owner Mike Lynch and his eighteen-year-old daughter Hanna. The victims were found in the cabins, hidden behind mattresses and various furnishings.

Chain of Fatal Errors
Important details are emerging about the sinking of the Bayesian, which could have been caused not only by the violent waterspout that hit the area but also by a series of human errors. Among the errors identified, an open hatch and improperly positioned movable keel have been cited as possible contributing factors to the tragedy that saw the sailboat sink in less than a minute.
The lifting of the keel may have somehow facilitated the rapid sinking of the yacht, which occurred within a minute according to footage from coastal cameras. Another theory advanced by the English tabloid Daily Mail is that of "doors left open," pointed out as a possible entryway for a large amount of water capable of completely filling the hull and causing it to sink within seconds.

Captain and Other Survivors Interrogated
The Bayesian's captain, James Cutfield, was interrogated for over two hours by the public prosecutors of Termini Imerese. During the interrogation, answers were sought about the decisions made during the critical phases that preceded the sinking. At the same time, other crew members and surviving passengers are providing vital testimonies to reconstruct the events of that fateful night.

ROV Technology Supports Search Efforts
The ROV used in operations can operate up to a depth of 300 meters and has a 6-7 hour autonomy, allowing it to record detailed videos and images of the wreck and the seabed. This tool is proving essential for investigators from the Public Prosecutor's Office of Termini Imerese, providing crucial data for the inquiry.
The wreck of the Bayesian lies on its starboard side at a depth of about 50 meters. Although initial external inspections indicate that the hull does not show visible breaches and the aluminum mast appears intact, attention is focused on the large movable keel of the vessel, partially raised, which may have negatively influenced the stability of the sailboat during the storm.
