Evidence presumed to be human remains from the site of the imploded Titan submersible has been recovered, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Wednesday.
The suspected remains were discovered “within the wreckage” of the submersible, and will be transported back to the United States for formal analysis and testing.
“I am grateful for the coordinated international and interagency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths,” Captain Jason Neubauer, the chair of the Marine Board of Investigation, said in a Coast Guard news release.
