Fair enough, but in any case, I was assuming that COL Astor's body was intact, so there's no disagreement there.

We know that Adele Nasrallah talked about the sinking on two occasions; once via telegram to Madeleine Astor, and once to the morgue at Halifax identifying "N.E. Coles Rasher" as Niqula Nasrallah. We know that Nasrallah was the 43rd body recovered by [I]Mackay-Bennett[/I], wearing a blue serge suit with brown boots, carrying 160 pounds (?) in gold, and had a tattoo of a lion with a sword on his right forearm, but we don't know the condition it was recovered in. We know COL Astor was the 124th body recovered by [I]Mackay-Bennett[/I], also wearing a blue serge suit with brown boots, carrying 225 pounds and $2440 in banknotes, and we know from the testimony of [I]Noma[/I] (the yacht[I])'s [/I]captain that the body was intact with a possibly dislocated or broken jaw. We know both bodies were forwarded to New York in early May 1912.

Is it possible that Nasrallah's body was the one that was crushed?
