Now that the Italian coastguard has found a sixth body in the wreck of the superyacht, let’s remember who they are:
The 59-year-old tech mogul had an estimated net worth of £852m and was the owner of the Bayesian superyacht.
Raised in Ilford, east London, by Irish parents, he made millions after setting up software company Autonomy in 1996.
It was the father of two who gathered the group together to celebrate his recent acquittal of charges in the United States over the yacht.
The Cambridge graduate had faced fraud and conspiracy charges after selling Autonomy for £9bn to US giant Hewlett Packard in 2011.
He owns a multi-million-pound ivy-covered home in Chelsea, west London. He has received numerous awards, including an OBE for services to business in 2006.
Veteran businessman Bloomer is chairman of Morgan Stanley International bank and Hiscox insurance company.
The 70-year-old Briton studied at Imperial College London and previously served on the boards of several high-profile companies.
He is said to be a close friend of Dr Lynch and appeared at his trial in the United States as a defence witness.
Jonathan Bloomer’s wife, Judy, is listed as a former director of the property development company Change Real Estate along with her husband.
She is described as a “brilliant advocate for women’s health” and has been a trustee and supporter of the gynaecological cancer research charity Eve Appeal for over 20 years.
Judy, who studied English language and literature at Cambridge, worked as a psychotherapist for almost 30 years.
American Christopher Morvillo, a partner at the New York law firm Clifford Chance, represented Dr Lynch at his US trial in San Francisco.
He expressed his delight on LinkedIn after securing the acquittal of Dr Lynch and his colleague Stephen Chamberlain on fraud charges in June.
Mr Morvillo wrote: ‘A huge thank you to my patient and amazing wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, bright and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo.’
He signed the message emotionally: “And they all lived happily ever after.” He worked on the terrorist investigation into the September 11 attacks.
The 57-year-old, who runs a luxury jewellery line under her maiden name Neda Nassiri, was also on the yacht with her husband, Mr Morvillo.
The couple have two daughters, Sabrina, 27, a voice actress, and Sophia, 23.
