'Presumed human remains' from the wreckage of the Titan submarine will be analyzed as investigators try to figure out how the disaster unfolded

The organization said that the wreckage will now be taken to a US port on a US Coast Guard cutter for further analysis. On the investigation into the incident, US leader Captain Jason Jason said, "There is still much work to be done to understand the causes of Titan's catastrophic event and to help ensure that a similar tragedy does not happen again."
(CNN) — U.S. medical experts will analyze "presumed human remains" found inside the wreckage of the Titan submarine as mystery continues about the ship's devastating explosion last week in the North Atlantic.
"There is still much work to be done to understand the cause of Titan's catastrophic damage and help ensure that a similar tragedy does not happen again," US Coast Guard Captain Jason Neubauer said in a statement Wednesday. About a week after the disaster was confirmed.
The Oceangate Expeditions submersible — which hosted a $250,000-a-ticket tourist excursion to the Titanic's 111-year-old remains — lost contact with its parent ship, the Polar Prince, on June 18. Titan's failure to resurface sparked a massive international search - from its rising sea surface to its cold, blind depths - that captured the world's attention for several days.
The arduous search ended when American officials delivered the saddest news: the submarine had exploded, and all five people aboard had presumably died.
The US Coast Guard has set up a maritime board of inquiry - its highest level of inquiry - to investigate what caused the tragedy and provide possible recommendations "to the appropriate authorities to pursue necessary civil or criminal sanctions". Gone, said Neubauer, the head of the board. and leads the team investigating the Titan disaster.
Investigators will analyze debris from the wreck, collect evidence, interview witnesses and hold public hearings for more witness testimony.
Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard said Wednesday that evidence of the Titan's wreckage site has reached the Canadian coastal city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada confirmed its arrival and said it was in the custody of the US Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard said the evidence - including presumed human remains - would be taken to a US port for analysis and testing. "The evidence will provide investigators in several international jurisdictions with important information about the cause of this tragedy," Neubauer said on Wednesday.
A white panel-like piece — taller than the two men guiding her on the ground — and another similarly sized piece with cords and wires wrapped in white tarps aboard the Horizon Arctic ship anchored Wednesday at the Canadian Coast Guard wharf in St. was removed from John Key, photos by The Canadian Press's Paul Daly Show. It was not immediately clear what those pieces were.
The company that owns the remotely operated vehicles that brought Titan's remains to the surface, Pelagic Research Services, has now "successfully completed" its offshore work, he told CNN.

The agency said those investigators have gathered all documents and conducted preliminary interviews with people aboard the Polar Prince. They have also sent the ship's voyage data recorder, which stores audio from the ship's bridge, to the Ottawa laboratory for analysis.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada "will continue to cooperate with the United States, the United Kingdom and France in accordance with international agreements as they are 'sufficiently interested states' under the International Maritime Organization Casualty Investigation Code," it said.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is also investigating and looking into whether "criminal, federal or provincial laws may have been broken."
mourning the death of 5 people
While investigators search for answers, friends and relatives of the five people aboard the ship are overcome with grief.
Pakistani businessman Prince Dawood and his son, Sulaiman Dawood; British businessman Hamish Harding; French diver Paul-Henri Nargiolet; and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, were all on board.
Christine Daoud, the wife of the 48-year-old prince and mother of Suleiman, 19, had intended to take part in the expedition, but decided to step aside so that her son could go in her place, he said.
He told the BBC, "They've wanted to do this for a really, really long time."
His son was obsessed with the Rubik's Cube, taking the puzzle block – which he could solve in 12 seconds – with him to Titan, where he planned to solve it "3,700 meters below the sea on the Titanic", he recalled. said while doing
Harding, a 58-year-old British businessman, had been part of other extreme expeditions, including as a member of the flight crew that broke the world record for the fastest circumnavigation through both poles. In 2020, he became one of the first people to dive into the Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean, widely believed to be the deepest point in the world's oceans.
A statement issued by Harding's Dubai-based Action Aviation, owned by his family, said: "He was a passionate explorer - no matter the terrain - who lived his life for his family, his business and the next adventure." "
"When you think of the Titanic and everything we know today about the ship, you will think of Paul-Henri Nargiolet and his great work," his family said in a statement. "But what we will remember him most for is his big heart, his amazing sense of humor and how much he loved his family."
Rush, 61, founded OceanGate in 2009 with the stated mission of "expanding access to the deep sea through innovation."
Throughout his life, he earned a reputation as a nature lover, an adventurer and visionary, and was described by Oceangate as a true explorer with a "distinctive spirit of adventure".
