The passengers who were declared dead included British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son, Suleman, 19; British adventurer Hamish Harding, 58; French deep sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who’d been on Titan’s maiden voyage in July 2021; and Rush, 61.

OceanGate founder Stockton Rush is the villain of this story, a man whose arrogance resulted in five deaths, including his own.
