The five passengers onboard the Titanic tourist submarine have died, a Coast Guard official said.
At a press conference which was held today Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US Coast Guard said that debris found near the Titanic is believed to be consistent with the Titan submersible. The vessel disappeared on Sunday.
Five separate pieces of the submersible were discovered today which allowed authorities to confirm they came from the Titan, including a tail cone. OceanGate released a statement on Thursday and said they believe their CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet have died after losing contact with the sea vessel on Sunday.
