According to the British Asian Trust, his death was a big tragedy.
A spokesperson for the trust stated: "We try to find solace in the enduring legacy of humility and humanity that they have left behind and find comfort in the belief that they passed on to the next leg of their spiritual journey hand-in-hand, as father and son"
Pakistan's foreign ministry also reacted to the sad news.
The ministry wrote: "Our deepest condolences to the Dawood family and the family of other passengers on the sad news about the fate of Titanic submersible in the North Atlantic. We appreciate the multinational efforts over the last several days in search of the vessel".
The Titanic Submersible:
Before the implosion, the submersible was directly above its destination, reports say. It was owned and operated by OceansGate Expeditions and began the trip under the sea on Sunday, 18th June at 4am. It was going 12,500 feet under water. The team lost communication with the mother MV Polar Prince and everything went downhill from there.
