Mike Lynch lost his life on celebratory voyage that ended in tragedy

Tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch had survived a 10-year legal battle he described as a ‘near death experience’. He was marking his ‘second life’ when tragedy struck as his superyacht sank off Sicily  earlier this week

Mike Lynch who was synonymous with allegations of fraud on a massive scale will, after this week, be forever tied to his tragic demise following a freak accident when the €16.5m Bayesian super yacht, far left, sank off the coast of Sicily.

For years, the name of Mike Lynch was synonymous with allegations of corporate fraud on a massive scale, accusations of which he was finally acquitted just two months ago.

After this week, his name will be forever tied to his tragic demise following a freak yachting accident at sea, less than a day after his colleague and co-defendant in the aforementioned legal action, 52-year-old Stephen Chamberlain, also died, bizarrely, after being hit by a car while out running near Cambridge.
