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.
