Suleman Dawoodthe 19-year-old son of Pakistani millionaire Shahzada Dawood, did not want to join the underwater expedition to the Titanic and agreed to the end to please his father on Father’s Day, as revealed by his aunt, Azmeh. Both died in the OceanDrive submersible accident along with the other three crew members.
“I’ve been thinking about Suleman every day, picturing him there trying to get maybe one last breath of air,” Azmeh Dawood told NBC from his residence in the Netherlands.
“I still can’t believe it, it all seems so surreal, like a bad movie with a countdown at the end, not really knowing what we were counting on,” added the sister of the Pakistani millionaire. “I’ve felt really bad about the fact that everyone has gone through this trauma, that suspense.”
Suleman Dawood was an Economics student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and was absent in the final stretch of the course to please his father, a Titanic fan. The two tickets cost him the equivalent of half a million dollars (460,000 euros).
The young man shared some of his father’s hobbies, such as science fiction movies, especially Star Wars y Star Trek. He was known for his skill with the Rubik’s cube and for his love of volleyball.
