Porticello, Italy: Divers searching for six missing people following the sinking of a superyacht off Sicily have found two bodies, a source close to the search told AFP Wednesday.
The discovery brings the confirmed death toll from the disaster off the Italian island to three, after the body of a man believed to be the yacht's chef was recovered hours after the sinking on Monday.
There were no immediate details about the bodies found. UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter Hannah are among the six people missing.
The 56-metre (185 feet) British-flagged "Bayesian" had been anchored some 700 metres off Porticello when it was struck by a waterspout -- akin to a mini-tornado -- during a pre-dawn storm.
It sank within minutes.
