However, Hannah Lynch, the 18-year-old daughter of British tech magnate Mike Lynch was previously reportedly unaccounted for and the body is likely hers.

The Lynch family was aboard The Bayesian, a 184-foot British-flagged yacht, that sank after capsizing while anchored off the coast of northern Sicily Monday.
Bayesian had 22 people on board — 12 passengers and 10 crew — when it capsized and sank within minutes of being hit by a predawn storm. Mike Lynch’s body was recovered Thursday.
Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.
