Isidor Straus's body was found two weeks following the sinking of the Titanic while Ida Straus's remains were never found, an archived New York Times article states. The couple was last seen standing together on the ship before it went under. Ida Straus was also offered a lifeboat seat while the ship was in peril, but she refused to leave her husband, who was still on the boat. Reports indicate that Isidor Straus was offered a seat, he did not want to leave the ship until all women and children had been removed. The Strauses died together when the Titanic sank in April 1912. The Strauses were first-class passengers, with Isidor being a co-owner of the department store R.H. Wendy Rush is the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor and Ida Straus, according to The New York Times. Wendy Rush, wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who has been missing in a submersible after embarking on an expedition to see the wreckage of the Titanic, is related to victims of the Titanic sinking, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
