A British tech entrepreneur and several Americans are among those missing after a yacht sank off the Italian coast, resulting in at least one fatality.
“The 184-foot British-flagged Bayesian carrying foreign tourists capsized and sank off Sicily in bad weather early Monday. One body was found, six people remain missing and 15 people were rescued, including a 1-year-old girl,” Fox News reported.
“The Italian coast guard said the sailboat overturned sometime after 5 a.m. off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, where it was anchored. Ten crew members and 12 passengers, including British, American and Canadian nationalities were onboard,” the outlet continued.
Authorities are still searching for the missing individuals, as the circumstances surrounding the sinking remain under investigation.
