Italian prosecutors open shipwreck and manslaughter investigation into Bayesian yacht sinking (nypost.com)
So, we will know more soonish about this whole mess. I'm glad the foul-play angle isn't being dropped as just some "Conspiracy Theory" though.

Quote: Prosecutors in Italy confirmed Saturday they opened a shipwreck and manslaughter investigation into the deadly sinking of the Bayesian superyacht, which killed a British tech tycoon and his daughter.
“We are only in the initial phase of the investigation. We can’t exclude any sort of development at present,” Termini Imerese prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said.
No suspect has been identified in the tragedy, which left seven people dead, Cartosio added.
The probe will focus on how a vessel deemed “unsinkable” by its manufacturer, Italian shipyard Perini Navi, went under while a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed.
There is no information yet about the ship’s black box — and authorities declined to comment on reports its hatches had been left open.
There was no timeframe on possibly resurfacing the yacht, authorities said.
News of the investigation came one day after divers retrieved the body of the last victim from the sunken wreck.
So, we will know more soonish about this whole mess. I'm glad the foul-play angle isn't being dropped as just some "Conspiracy Theory" though.
