Human remains possibly found in Titanic shipwreck 2004 photo shows coat, boots in mud among debris THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sunday, April 15, 2012, 9:41 AM AP The remains of a coat and boots, articulated in the mud on the sea bed near Titanic's stern, are suggestive evidence of where a victim of the disaster came to rest. Human remains may be embedded in the mud of the North Atlantic where the New York-bound Titanic came to rest when it sank 100 years ago, a federal official said Saturday.
