# A diver died on Friday during preliminary operations to recover British tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s superyacht from the waters off the coast of northern Sicily. The 56-meter-long Bayesian went down near Palermo in August last year when it was likely hit by a very strong downward wind, killing seven people. Police said the 39-year-old Dutch diver drowned on Friday while he was underwater in Porticello. The attempt to lift the yacht off the seabed is expected later this month and should help shed light on how a supposedly unsinkable vessel disappeared into the sea.
