What I want to know is: when a submersible instantly implodes at that depth, what happens to the human bodies? Do they become a cloud of pink slime, are there recognizable bits left, what was recovered? Sorry to be morbid and indecent, but honestly that’s all I want to know.

Under that intense pressure I suspect the only potentially recognizable body part may be the enamel (crowns) of teeth.
Bones are porous and may get crushed but enamel is the hardest naturally occurring substance in the body. That may survive.
If any of the older passengers had titanium hip replacements obviously that would remain, as would silver fillings and gold/porcelain crowns.
It is a dark interest but fascinating none the less.
