“He was one of a kind and we adored him. He was a passionate explorer – whatever the terrain – who lived his life for his family, his business and for the next adventure. What he achieved in his lifetime was truly remarkable and if we can take any small consolation from this tragedy, it’s that we lost him doing what he loved.

He stated: “This morning, an ROV, or remote operated vehicle from the vessel Horizon Arctic discovered the tail cone of the Titan submersible approximately 1,600ft from the bow of the Titanic on the sea floor.
“The ROV subsequently found additional debris. In consultation with experts from within the unified command, the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.
“Upon this determination, we immediately notified the families.
“On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families. I can only imagine what this has been like for them.
“And I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.”

In a press release, Richard Garriott de Cayeux stated: “Their memories will be a blessing and continue to inspire us in the name of science and exploration.”
The press convention heard the invention of 5 main items of particles allowed search groups to establish the stays of the craft.
A Coast Guard spokesman additionally stated the place of the particles made it unlikely the craft had collided with the stays of the Titanic.
They added that underwater sounds and banging noises detected within the search space for the Titan had been doubtless unrelated to the lacking submersible.
The sounds, heard over two days, gave hope to searchers and people watching the huge effort unfold since Sunday, when the vessel was reported lacking, however in the end appears irrelevant.
Experts say the ocean ground is a “noisy” place and a possible connection between the banging and the Titan had been unlikely.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly described the deaths of the pilot and 4 passengers on the lacking Titan submersible as “tragic”.
He tweeted: “Tragic news that those on the Titan submersible, including three British citizens, have been lost following an international search operation.
“The UK Government is closely supporting the families affected and expresses our deepest condolences.”
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry provided its “deepest condolences” to the Dawood household and the households of different passengers.
In a Twitter submit, a spokesman stated: “We appreciate the multi-national efforts over the last several days in search of the vessel.”
