Banker who died alongside wife in Bayesian superyacht tragedy left £6million to kids in his will, documents reveal
Banker who died alongside wife in Bayesian superyacht tragedy left £6million to kids in his will, documents reveal

A BANKER who died when billionaire Mike Lynch’s yacht sank in Sicily last year left £6million in his will, documents reveal.
Jonathan Bloomer, 70, died alongside wife Judy when the £30m, 180ft boat was capsized in a freak weather event off the coast of the Italian island last August.
Mr Bloomer left £6m to his children in his will
The former chairman of international bank Morgan Stanley, who suffocated in the air pockets of the boat as it sank to the sea floor, passed on £6,551,549.
His will was authorised by the High Court last week and would have left everything to Judy, 71, had she not died alongside him in the wreck.
Instead, the huge sum will pass to his son and two daughters, who all survive him.
It is the first will to be released of those who died on the boat. Details of billionaire Lynch’s estate have not yet been made public.
Mr Bloomer was a respected City veteran who was CEO of financial giant Prudential before being ousted in 2005.
He took the International Chairman role at Morgan Stanley in 2016.
The global firm has offices in 42 different countries, and specialises in investment banking and wealth management.
Mr Bloomer was also chairman of insurance firm Hiscox.
The bodies of Autonomy founder Mr Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18, were both recovered at the scene.
Mr Lynch’s yacht sank only weeks after he beat a life sentence in America, after being acquitted of serious fraud.
The body of Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the superyacht, was recovered at the scene.
Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo also died and were pulled from the wreckage.
Some 15 people survived the sinking after being thrown off the boat into the water when it was caught in a storm while docked.
It comes as Sicilian prosecutors, who are treating it as suspected manslaughter, hope to gain more evidence by raising the vessel to examine it in detail.
They have placed the captain and two British crew members under investigation.
The salvage is scheduled for between April 20 and May 10 after talks between prosecutors, the Italian coastguard and the company that owns the yacht, which is controlled by Lynch’s widow Angela Bacares.
The operation will begin with the removal of the yacht’s 72-metre mast to make raising the hull easier.
Parts of the rigging are thought to be embedded in the sea floor.
A barge will be stationed over the yacht, which is lying on its starboard side, and a crane will be used to hoist it to the surface.
