Shock twist in couple suing Titanic victim and CEO of OceanGate

Couple suing OceanGate’s Stockton Rush for refusing to refund their $210,000 despite repeatedly canceling their deep sea dive drop lawsuit after he died along with four others in doomed mini sub trip to the Titanic

A Florida couple who sued OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush have dropped their lawsuit out of respect for the victims of the tragic Titan submersible, which imploded while exploring the wreck of the Titanic last week.

Marc and Sharon Hagle in February filed a lawsuit against Rush, one of five to die aboard the doomed sub, claiming the OceanGate chief had refused to refund $210,000 they had paid for a deep-sea exploration in 2018 even after he repeatedly cancelled the tour.

But the death of Rush, along with British billionaire Hamish Harding, French navy veteran PH Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, led the Hagles to drop their case.

‘Like most around the world, we have watched the coverage of the OceanGate Titan capsule with great concern and enormous amount of sadness and compassion for the families of those who lost their lives,’ they told Fox 35.

‘In light of these tragic events, we have informed our attorneys to withdraw all legal actions against Stockton.

‘We honour their zest for life, as well as their commitment to the exploration of our oceans.’
