Human remains have been found four months after the Titan submarine imploded on a dive down to the Titanic.
Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman, plus French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeole, Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, all died in the implosion. Recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, say the Coast Guard, and a photo showed the intact aft titanium endcap of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) vessel.
The Coast Guard has now recovered remaining debris, including presumed human remains, from the wreck site after the Titan imploded on a deep dive beneath the Atlantic Ocean's surface, officials said Tuesday.
Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan's debris and transported for analysis by U.S. medical professionals. The salvage mission conducted under an agreement with the U.S. Navy was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600 feet (488 meters) away from the Titanic.
The Coast Guard previously said it recovered presumed human remains along with parts of the Titan after the debris field was located at a depth of 12,500 feet (3,800 meters). Investigators believe the Titan imploded as it made its descent into deep North Atlantic waters on June 18.
