The U. S Coast Guard has confirmed all five missing passengers in the Titanic submersible perished.
This confirmation comes a few hours after a “debris field” was discovered by an underwater robot searching near the wreck of the Titanic for the missing submersible.
The company said in a statement on Thursday. “We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost.”
Rescue teams had earlier expanded their search underwater on June 20, 2023, as they raced against time to find a Titan deep-diving tourist submersible that went missing near the wreck of the Titanic with five people on the board and limited oxygen.
According to coast guard the debris field was found “within the search area by an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) near the Titanic.”
