The initial results from the autopsies of four people who died when a yacht sank off the coast of Sicily last month revealed they died of suffocation as oxygen ran out on the stricken vessel, Reuters is reporting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch owned the yacht. Lynch, his daughter Hannah, the ship’s chef, Canadian Recaldo Thomas, and four guests died when the Bayesian, a British flagged 56-metre superyacht, sank during a sudden, severe storm off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, on Aug. 19.
