The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion have filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking more than 50 million dollars (£39 million) that accuses the sub’s operator of gross negligence.

Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who died when the Titan submersible imploded during a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023.
