Another “suspected human remains” and the final pieces of the Titan submersible were pulled from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean last week, officials announced Tuesday.
Maritime Safety Engineers for the US Coast Guard [USCG] It recovered several pieces of the wreck, including the intact titanium lid of the 22-foot vessel, from the ocean floor on Wednesday.
The devices were located approximately 1,600 feet from the Titanic, the submersible’s destination when it imploded in June, killing all five passengers on board.
“Additional suspected human remains were carefully recovered from within the Titan debris and transported for analysis by American medical professionals,” the USCG said in a statement.
The rescue mission was the second, and probably the last, until the watery grave. Other human remains and pieces of the Titan were previously recovered ten days after its implosion on June 18.

Officials will investigate debris and other evidence recovered from the previous recovery mission ahead of a planned public hearing into the tragedy.
Researchers believe the Titan imploded just one hour and 45 minutes after its dive into the wreckage of the Titanic, when it reached a depth of about 12,000 feet under the sea.
The five victims were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, prominent Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48 years old, and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman Dawood.

Harding, Dawood and their son had paid up to $250,000 each per ticket to see the infamous wreck during the trip.
Before the wreck site was discovered, a frantic international search effort was mounted for the missing submarine, with rescuers racing against time to reach the submarine before it ran out of oxygen.
Rush, who piloted the Titan, has since faced scrutiny for apparently ignoring major safety concerns on previous deep-sea voyages.
The Titan’s carbon fiber hull has also been criticized for not being strong enough to withstand numerous dives, as the Titan had been. OceanGate has since closed.
