Did John Jacob Astor die in theTitanic?
Yes, that is factually acurrate. John Jacob Astor was aboard the Titanic. He shared cabins C-62 and C-64 with his wife and servants. He died in the sinking and his body was picked up by the McKay-Bennett on April 22nd and marked as body 124 and was later identified by his clothing and affects on the body. He was returned to NYC and buried in Trinity Cemetary. The movie is only partially factually accurate, but as to Mr. Astor being aboard, that is correct.
