Fifth Body Recovered from Superyacht Sinking Off Sicily

A fifth body has been brought ashore in the search for the last missing person from the superyacht that sank off the coast of Sicily. Italian authorities found the body on the yacht but have not yet identified it. Four bodies were found earlier, but their identities remain unknown. The British-flagged vessel, carrying 22 people, sank after its mast broke during a storm. Fifteen people were rescued, one body was recovered, and six individuals remain missing. Divers have faced challenging conditions in exploring the wreck, which is about 50 meters underwater. The cause of the sinking is still under investigation.
