'Dad must have been super happy - he died living his passion': Daughter of 'Mr Titanic' among five killed in Titan sub disaster pays tribute to her father a year after the tragedy By Emily Jane Davies Published: 07:37, 17 June 2024 | Updated: 07:42, 17 June 2024 e-mail View comments The grieving daughter of one of those killed in the Titan tragedy has spoken out to say her father, known as 'Mr Titanic', died doing what he loved most. French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, was one of the five killed when a submersible imploded on a trip to the wreckage of the Titanic a year ago. Ahead of the first anniversary, his daughter Sidonie Nargeolet, 40, said he must have been 'super happy' and he had a 'very good death'.

She told the Sunday Times her father died doing his favourite thing and passed away 'healthy with his mind intact'. When she last spoke to him as he arrived on the Polar Prince - the ship from which the sub launched - he was 'happy'. But at 6am the next morning, she was told that the Titan was missing and she said she 'cried for 10 minutes'.

Mr Nargeolet was on board with Hamish Harding, the 58-year-old British billionaire, his son Suleman, 19, and the Titan's owner Stockton Rush, 61.
