An American lawyer who, along with his wife, is among the individuals missing in relation to the sunken Bayesian yacht shared a haunting post before vanishing.
Christopher Morvillo, 59, one of the six people reported unaccounted for after the vessel capsized, shared a post on his LinkedIn account for the first time two months ago claiming his family was living “happily ever after,” specifically mentioning his wife, jewelry designer Neda Morvillo, who was also on the doomed luxury ship.
“And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo,” he wrote.
“None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home. And they all lived happily ever after….”
A tornado struck the 56-meter yacht known as the ‘Bayesian’ at around 5:00 a.m. local time on Monday (August 19) when the vessel was anchored about a half mile from the port of Porticello. Fifteen people, including the ship’s captain, were rescued from the scene and one child was reported to have been airlifted to a Palermo children’s hospital.
The ‘Bayesian’ flew the British flag as it was mostly comprised of British passengers and crew, as well as two Anglo-French, one New Zealander, one Irish and one Sri Lanken, the spokesperson said. The six missing individuals were reportedly comprised of four Britons, two Americans and one Canadian passenger, according to the Guardian.
Twenty-two people were present on the boat at the time of the accident including 12 passengers and 10 crew members. The Italian Fire Brigade said its divers reached the hull of the yacht, which was located 160 feet below sea level, and dispatched helicopters for additional assistance during its ongoing search for the sunken ship and its passengers in a press statement obtained by CNN.
