Dead or on the lamb?

Perhaps, but I'm thinking more along the lines of poisoning and a coverup for certain parties. This just doesn't happen. Being randomly hit by a tornado ("waterspout") out on the open water seems more than exceptionally rare to me. This yacht likely had at least two and maybe more full size, 1000hp+ diesel engines. Captain didn't see this coming? Nobody else on the yacht did either? I simply don't believe it. I know bullshit when I smell it. Unless there is radar evidence of a tornado developing directly next to the yacht over the course of a minute, leaving now time to react, I'm not buying it.

They now say it was most likely a downburst, a sudden downward air current that sometimes appear below storm clouds. The Mediterranean is known for its sudden and strong storms, but this storm was expected.

Add that to 16 minutes to sink? That's way more than enough time to put life preservers/survival suits on and to get into a lifeboat. IMHO the people who died on this expedition were already dead before the boat took on water.

The 16 minutes were counted starting at the time we see the lights going down on the video posted by Encia22 and the time the GPS stopped working, which is assumed was the time it was already under water and uncapable of contacting the satellites.

The ship's black box would be a great help in solving this.

PS: regarding this being one or more homicides disguised as an accident, for that to be likely the killer(s) would need to know that the ship was going to be hit by a very strong storm, otherwise the sinking of the ship would look terribly suspicious. Even as things are it is suspicious, imagine if the weather wasn't as bad as it was.
