was “terrified” about taking the ill-fated trip to the Titanic – but decided to go along to please his dad, who was “absolutely obsessed” with the famed shipwreck, his aunt said.

Azmeh said she had fallen out of touch with her brother in recent years and that he disapproved of her use of cannabis for multiple sclerosis, but added that she remained close to Suleman.
