Inquests into the deaths of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, who died when their yacht sank off the coast of Sicily, will open on Friday.
Seven people died when the Bayesian, a 56-metre sailing boat, sank during bad weather in the early hours of 19 August.
Inquests into four of those that died, including Mr Lynch and his daughter Hannah, will be held at The Coroner’s Court in Ipswich. Mr Lynch lived at the Loudham Hall estate near Wickham Market, Suffolk.
The court will also investigate the deaths of Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy Bloomer, who were on board.
Of the 22 passengers and crew on the yacht, 15 managed to escape on to a lifeboat, including a one-year-old and Mr Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares.
