Morgan Stanley boss among missing after Bayesian yacht disaster

Jonathan Bloomer, the International chairman of Morgan Stanley, and his wife are reportedly among the missing after the Bayesian yacht sank in Sicily.

Bloomer and his wife are believed to be among those unaccounted for, Italian authorities said, along with British businessman Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah.

The luxury yacht Bayesian was hit by a sudden tornado off the coast of Porticello fishing village on Monday morning, causing it to sink. One person, the sailboat’s chef, was found dead, while six people remain missing.

Christopher Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford and Chance, and his wife are believed to be among the six missing people, according to Italian Civil Protection agency.

The shipwreck comes after Lynch and his co-defendant in a US fraud trial Stephen Chamberlain were acquitted in June. Just days ago, Chamberlain was hit by a car and later died from his injuries.
