The U.S. Coast Guard says it will conduct a formal analysis of what it calls "presumed human remains" that have been recovered from the wreckage area of the Titan submersible.Debris, including the nose cone, from the doomed OceanGate Titan submersible is now with investigators in St. John’s who hope it will shed light on why the sub imploded, killing all 5 on board.The U.S.

"There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the Titan and help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again."A crane lifted the submersible's nose cone, pieces of its hull and a section of the tail into the air and lowered them to the Canadian Coast Guard dock in St. John's.

They may try to piece the vessel back together, according to a marine investigations expert who spoke with CBC News earlier this week. He said investigators will build a sequence of events from the facts they gather, create hypotheses on what could have happened and then test them in the lab — all in an effort to "build a whole understanding of how the system failed."
