‘Presumed’ human remains recovered from doomed Titanic submersible

“Presumed human remains” were recovered from the OceanGate submersible that imploded en route to the Titanic wreckage 10 days ago, the US Coast Guard said Wednesday.

All five people on board the Titan sub were killed during its deep-sea exploration.

“United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of presumed human remains that have been carefully recovered within the wreckage at the site of the incident,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.

The five victims were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, prominent Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman Dawood.

Stockton, who was piloting the submersible, has faced unwavering scrutiny for seemingly ignoring major safety concerns while charging wealthy tourists to pay $250,000 each for a trip to see the famed ship that sank in 1912.

The Coast Guard said it received debris and evidence from the seafloor at the site of the Titan catastrophe when the ship arrived in Canada Wednesday.

Large chunks of the mangled wreckage were seen as it was hauled ashore by crane from a recovery ship after it docked.

The Marine Board of Investigation is expected to move the evidence aboard a Coast Guard cutter to a US port where the MBI will figure out further analysis and testing, the Coast Guard said.

“I am grateful for the coordinated international and interagency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths,” MBI Chair Captain Jason Neubauer said in a statement.

“The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy. There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the TITAN and help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again.”
