Riviera Radio News Update - The Italian coastguard has confirmed that British tech tycoon Mike Lynch is among the five bodies recovered from the wreck of the superyacht which sank in a storm off the coast of Sicily on Monday. Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judith Bloomer, Christopher Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo have also been identified. Mr Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah is still missing. Search teams made the tragic discoveries of four bodies on Wednesday while scouring through the ruins of luxury sailboat Bayesian.

It brings the total number of confirmed deaths to six after the body of Recaldo Thomas was discovered on the day of the sinking. One person remains missing.
