PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers found two bodies Wednesday inside a superyacht that sank in a violent storm off Sicily, a source familiar with rescue operations told NBC News.

It is unclear whose bodies were found, but the discovery follows a dayslong search in the deep seas off the Italian coast where British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five others were believed trapped in the luxury sailboat's hull.

They have been missing since early Monday, when the Bayesian was caught in the storm while moored off Porticello near Palermo. Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived.

NBC News witnessed a body bag being lifted from the back of a fire department boat after it sailed into the port of Porticello. It was unclear whose body it was.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife Judy; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda, are also missing.
