The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland and Labrador (RCMP NL), Canada, announced today that it is examining the circumstances that led to the deaths of the five individuals who were aboard the submersible Titan to determine if a full investigation is warranted. Such an investigation will proceed only if the RCMP's examination of the circumstances indicate criminal, federal or provincial laws may possibly have been broken.
An update will be provided when a determination has been made on whether or not a full investigation will be launched.
No further information will be released at this time.
