The Coast Guard confirmed that the remains were recovered from within the submerged wreckage of the submersible.

These findings, along with other evidence, were transported to a Canadian pier for further analysis by US medical professionals.

Pelagic Research Services, the company responsible for the recovery of Titan's remains, announced that their offshore operations have been successfully completed.

Images captured at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, show debris, including a tall panel-like piece and another part with cords and wires, which were unloaded from the vessel Horizon Arctic. The nature of these pieces is yet to be determined.

Tragically, the US Coast Guard announced that the Titan had suffered a catastrophic implosion, presumed to have claimed the lives of everyone aboard.

It later emerged that young Suleman Dawood was hesitant about joining his adventurous dad Shahzada Dawood to visit the wreck of the historic Titan ship in the ill-fated submersible.

A race against time was underway in the remote reaches of the North Atlantic as crews strived to unravel the mystery behind underwater sounds detected by a Canadian P-3 plane.

US Navy experts were analysing the sonar data while search teams were diligently exploring the source of the noises.

In response to the incident, the Coast Guard established a Marine Board of Investigation to determine the cause of the implosion and propose recommendations to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
