Divers find five bodies in superyacht, but questions remain

Porticello, Sicily | Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five of the six missing passengers as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.

Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers on scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth.
