Engineers found the remaining debris and suspected human remains from the Titan submersible, which was destroyed during a tragic journey to the Titanic, according to the US Coast Guard.

The boat got broken when they went underwater to explore the shipwreck in June.

Everyone on board died.

The search for the submarine caused a big search around the world and got a lot of attention from the public until some parts of it were found a few days later.

Coast Guard officials announced on Tuesday that they found more parts of the boat at the bottom of the sea last week. They brought the parts to a port in the US. Doctors will study the leftover parts of the body.

The Titan submersible, which was made by OceanGate, went on many dives to the Titanic wreck. The wreck is located 3,800m (12,467ft) under the sea in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The boss of the company, Stockton Rush, was on the sinking boat, which crushed under the strong pressure of the water.

Four other people died on the plane. Their names were Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henry Nargeolet.
Documents from a court in the US, found after a collapse, revealed that Mr. Rush did not pay attention to warnings about the submersible’s safety. OceanGate, a company that arranged underwater exploration trips in different places worldwide, stopped all activities after the tragic event occurred.

The outside structure of the Titan ship was built using a strong material called carbon fibre. It also had special metal pieces called titanium end plates and a small window at one end. Carbon fibre is not as expensive as titanium or steel and it is very strong. However, it hasn’t been used much before for deep sea dives with people.

Scientists from around the world are still investigating the tragedy, and the Coast Guard has announced that a meeting will be held for everyone to attend at a later time.
