He was reported missing after being aboard Mike Lynch’s superyacht, which sank off the coast of Sicily with 22 people on board on Monday. While about 15 people made it into a life raft, some press reports indicate that Lynch, Morvillo, and his wife Neda have yet to be found.
“Along with everyone else, we’re devastated by the news out of Italy concerning the ship. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris’ family,” commented Elkan Abramowitz, reflecting the sentiment echoing through the legal community.
