Police investigating circumstances of deaths of five in Titanic sub implosion
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent Kent Osmond says a team has been formed for a preliminary study into the tragedy that took place in a remote corner of the North Atlantic
Royal Canadian Mounted Police are looking into the circumstances of the deaths of five people on board the ill-fated submarine that imploded while on a trip towards the Titanic wreck.
Superintendent Kent Osmond says a team has been formed for a preliminary study into the tragedy that took place in a remote corner of the North Atlantic.
The inspection will look into whether a full investigation is warranted, or if any laws have been broken, CBC reported.
He said the case is unique, partly because there are a "number of jurisdictions involved". Canada has jurisdiction to investigate offshore deaths.
When asked at a press conference whether there is any suspicion of criminal activity at the moment, Superintendent Osmond replied: “There is no suspicion of criminal activity per se, but the RCMP is taking initial steps to assess whether or not we will go down that road.”
This investigation will run parallel to the collaborative effort by the Canadian and US Transportation Safety Boards.
According to Rear Admiral John Mauger, debris found after the accident was consistent with a "catastrophic implosion".
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, experienced Titanic diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzadah Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, are presumed dead.
It comes after reports that the mothership that dropped the submarine into its final dive has now returned to shore.
Pictures show the Polar Prince, the main support ship, returning to St John’s Harbour in Newfoundland today, nearly a week after it set sail from the port.
Questions surrounding OceanGate’s sketchy approach to safety have now come to the forefront of the conversation.
Those who wanted to go on the dodgy vessel had to sign a waiver confirming that they knew they were going to be boarding an “experimental” vessel “that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma or death."
On top of this, a TV producer who boarded the Titan just one year ago claimed that the waiver mentioned death three times on the first page.
