The submarine — of which Stockton was one of five on board — was missing since Sunday when it disappeared while it was heading to let passengers view the Titanic wreckage. On Thursday, Independent reported that officials believe that the submersible experienced a “catastrophic implosion” killing all five passengers aboard.

“These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans.”
