Titan sub disaster victim Shahzada Dawood died without a valid UK will so left less than £100,000 to his wife in Britain - despite being the heir to a £1.3billion-a-year business empire in Pakistan, MailOnline can reveal today.
He was the vice chairman of Engro Corporation, which makes fertilisers, food and energy, as well as the Dawood Hercules Corporation, which makes chemicals. As well as the father and son, three others died on board Titan: OceanGate's CEO Stockton Rush, 61, British businessman Hamish Harding, 58, and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77, a former French navy diver and experienced Titanic diver.
The wreckage of the doomed vessel was found 330 yards away from the bow of the Titanic, some 3,700 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. She added: 'No parent should have to grieve for their child. It's unnatural. All of a sudden your purpose, your identity, is ripped away from you.' Debris from the Titan submersible, recovered from the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, is unloaded from the ship Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John's, Newfoundland
Ms Dawood met her husband at Reutlingen University in her native Germany, where she said that they were 'kindred spirits'. When the submersible was reported missing, rescuers rushed ships, planes and other equipment to an area about 435 miles south of St. John's, Newfoundland.
