A newly released photograph of Titanic’s wreck suggests human remains may be embedded in the mud where the ship sank. The 2004 photograph shows a coat and boots in the mud at site. Most who have explored the wreck suggested that there are no human remains left, just clothes.

Buried in that sediment are very likely forensic remains of that person.”
