British tech mogul Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah Lynch were killed in the accident.

Italy has launched a manslaughter investigation into the sinking of a superyacht off the coast of Sicily on August 23. The tragic accident claimed seven lives earlier this week and has attracted widespread public attention.

When announcing the details of the investigation, Ambrogio Catosio, the prosecutor in charge of the case, clearly pointed out that the preliminary investigation results showed that the sinking of the luxury yacht of British technology tycoon Mike Lynch was not directly caused by bad weather, but was closely related to the crew's operating behavior and the ship's response. This conclusion undoubtedly pointed out the direction for the subsequent investigation of the case.

Prosecutor Catosio stressed that the investigation is not targeting a specific individual, but rather seeks to comprehensively and impartially assess the behavior of all those involved. "There may be multiple negligence responsibilities. It may be the negligence of the captain alone, or the entire crew team, or even the guards responsible for safety. We are reviewing each link one by one to clarify who is responsible." His words revealed a deep understanding of the complexity of the case and a firm pursuit of justice.

In addition, Catosio also revealed that the prosecutor's office has submitted a file against "unidentified persons" to relevant departments, formally accusing them of negligence causing the sinking of the ship and negligent homicide. This move not only reflects the rigor of the legal process, but also shows that the Italian authorities have a zero-tolerance attitude towards such safety accidents.

Although the exact cause of the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht has not yet been fully revealed, it is widely speculated that the yacht may have been hit by a waterspout, an extreme weather phenomenon. The Coast Guard's report coincides with the records of the European Severe Weather Database, both of which point out that a waterspout appeared in the area during the incident. Although this clue cannot fully explain the entire cause of the accident, it undoubtedly provides an important clue to solve the mystery.
