Titan submarine victims’ bodies were returned as ‘slush’ in ‘shoeboxes'
New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- Christine Dawood, who lost her husband Shahzada and son Suleman in the 2023 Titan submarine disaster, revealed their remains were returned to her as unidentifiable "slush" in small shoebox-sized containers after a nine-month wait.
- The remains were recovered from the ocean floor and identified through DNA testing, but much of the material was mixed and unidentifiable, with Dawood declining to receive the unseparated DNA.
- Shahzada and Suleman were among five people aboard the Titan submersible that imploded catastrophically near the Titanic wreck site in June 2023, approximately two hours after departure.
- Dawood, who had originally planned to be on the submersible but gave her spot to her son, expressed relief that the implosion was instantaneous, believing her family did not suffer in the tragedy.
