Among those who died was 19-year-old Suleman Dawood who was studying first year business management at Strathclyde University.

Additional presumed human remains were recovered from within Titan’s debris and transported for analysis by U.S. medical professionals, with the salvage mission being conducted under an agreement with the U.S. Navy. This served as a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600 feet (488 meters) away from the Titanic.
Deep dives previously took place down to the wreck site 12,500 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. During these recovery missions, The Coast Guard discovered parts of the submarine, along with what is suspected to be human remains.

The disappearance of the vessel took a global stage as a several days long search commenced. It was discovered some time later that the vestal had more than likely imploded on its decent, and there would be no survivors.
