Presumed human remains have been recovered from within the wreckage of the Titan, the submersible that imploded on a voyage to the Titanic earlier this month, the US Coast Guard reported on Wednesday.

The Coast Guard will transport the evidence recovered from the North Atlantic to a US port where medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of the remains, officials said.
