Seven Dead After Superyacht Sinks Off Sicily
News summary

Autopsies have revealed that four of the seven victims who died in the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily last month suffocated in air pockets rather than drowning. The victims, including Jonathan and Judy Bloomer, and Chris and Neda Morvillo, had no water in their lungs, indicating that they died from toxic carbon dioxide buildup after exhausting the oxygen in air bubbles inside the yacht. The incident occurred during a violent storm on August 19, which caused the yacht to sink rapidly, trapping the victims below deck. Investigators believe the victims sought out remaining air pockets as the vessel tilted sharply to the right while sinking. The captain and two crew members are under investigation for multiple manslaughter and causing a shipwreck.
