In a tragic maritime incident off the coast of Palermo, the commander of the yacht Bayesian, James Cutfield, is under investigation for multiple counts of manslaughter following the vessel's sinking, which resulted in seven fatalities.

The yacht, considered unsinkable, went down after reportedly leaving a side hatch open, allowing water to flood in during a severe weather event.

Despite no official storm warnings, local fishermen noted ominous weather signs.

The incident has raised questions about the actions of the crew, as all crew members survived while only passengers and the cook perished.

Authorities are scrutinizing whether the crew's response was adequate and if the yacht's design contributed to the disaster.

The investigation continues as the community mourns the loss, including prominent British tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter.
