The wrongful death lawsuit comes almost a year after French explorer Paul Henri-Nargeolet and four others died in the disaster.

The family of French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet on Tuesday filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against OceanGate, the operator of a tourist submersible that catastrophically failed during an attempt to visit the wreckage of the Titanic . Nargeolet was one of the Titan sub's five passengers on June 18, 2023 when it suffered a catastrophic pressure loss and imploded, causing the deaths of all on board.

Attorneys for his estate said in an emailed statement that the 'doomed submersible' had a 'troubled history,' and that OceanGate failed to disclose key facts about the vessel and its durability.'The lawsuit alleges serious issues with the Titan submersible,' Tony Buzbee, one of the attorneys bringing the case, said in a statement.
