The university's principal and vice-chancellor, Prof Sir Jim McDonald, wrote to students to inform that Suleman was in the missing sub.

In the message, he said: "I write to you with a heavy heart to share the news that one of our students, Suleman Dawood, is a passenger on board the submersible that is missing in the North Atlantic.

"I know you will join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to their families and loved ones."

In addition, on the Thursday night, US Coast Guard Spokesman said that the debris found in the search for missing submersible Titan was "consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber"
