Suleman Dawood's mother said her son, the teenager who died on the Titan submarine last week, took his Rubik's Cube with him because he wanted to break a world record.
The 19-year-old had applied to the Guinness Book of Records and his father, Shahzada, who also died in the submarine, had taken a camera with him to capture the moment.
The 19-year-old's mother and her daughter were aboard the submarine's support vessel when they heard the news that communication with the Titan had been lost.
"I didn't understand at the time what it meant, but then they disappeared," she told the BBC.
According to the BBC, Mrs Davvood said she had planned to go with her husband to see the wreck of the Titanic, but the trip was canceled due to the Covid pandemic. Then she gave up and left her son, who was eager to see the wreck of the Titanic.
Suleman and his father Shahzada Davvood, one of Pakistan's richest families, along with three other people died aboard the Titan submarine Stockton Rush, 61-year-old CEO of OceanGate which owned Titan, British businessman Hamish Harding, 58 and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77, and a former French Navy diver and noted explorer.
Speaking about her son, Ms. Dawood said Suleiman loved the Rubik's Cube so much that he carried it with him everywhere and amazed viewers by solving the complex puzzle in 12 seconds.
"Suleiman built a Titanic out of 10,000 Legos. He applied for the world record because he wanted to solve the Rubik's cube at the deepest point. And while his request was rejected, they were planning to film the attempt with Suleman to solve the Rubik's cube 3,700 meters under the sea, on the Titanic ," continues his mother.
Asked what the family's last words were to each other, she told the BBC that we just hugged and joked because Sazada was so excited about the dive that he was acting like a little kid. They were both so excited.
"I was really happy for them because they both wanted to do this for a very long time," she said.
