Tragic Deaths of New York City Lawyer and Wife Raises Questions on Super Yacht Sinking.
Last month, Chris Morvillo, a New York City lawyer, along with his wife Neda fell victim to the tragic Bayesian tragedy. The couple drowned when the super yacht they were aboard sank off the coast of Sicily. Autopsies conducted on the Morvillos have confirmed their deaths and brought to light the horrifying incident.
The Morvillos were among seven people killed in the disaster after the $40 million boat, owned by British tech billionaire Mike Lynch, capsized during a ferocious storm on August 19th. The tragic accident also claimed the lives of Lynch and his daughter Hannah.
Autopsies were first conducted on the bodies of Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda. Further autopsies are planned for Wednesday on the bodies of Morgan Stanley Bank International chair Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy, as reported by the Associated Press.
A judicial investigation is currently underway to determine any possible negligence on the part of three Bayesian crew members who have been suspected of manslaughter and causing the shipwreck. The ship’s captain, James Cutfield, has not spoken about the wreck and refused to talk when questioned by prosecutors.
However, other members of the crew maintain that they did their best to save those on board during the disaster. Among the victims was Recaldo Thomas, the ship’s cook, who was the only crew member to lose his life in the incident.
The exact cause of the wreck remains undetermined. Some have speculated that a rare weather phenomenon occurring at the time, known as a “black swan” event, may have contributed to the accident. However, naval experts suggest that the 185-foot yacht could have withstood a storm.
The Bayesian remains unsalvaged and questions remain about the circumstances surrounding the tragic sinking.
