<span style="color:#006400">'''NIRMAL, Kaustubh'''</span> (c. 1975-2019) and <span style="color:#006400">'''Sanjeeri Deopujari'''</span>  (c. 1988-2019) were a married couple from Stamford, Connecticut, according to a new report. Kaustubh Nirmal and Sanjeeri Deopujari were among the 34 people who died Monday aboard the 75-foot vessel, called ''Conception'', that was on a three-day diving excursion. The couple married in 2016.  Deopujari, 31, was a dentist in Norwalk while her husband, Nirmal, 44, worked as a senior adviser at Ernst and Young.

The pair were made for each other, Nirmal’s cousin, Rajul Sharma, told the LA Times in an email. “He found a soulmate in Sanjeeri,” Sharma said. “Their love for each other was apparent even without them speaking about it.” He said his late cousin was sweet, sensitive and an animal lover. “God took them away from us untimely and unfairly, but even he didn’t have the heart to separate them in death,” Sharma said. The tragic victims have yet to be identified by authorities but their names have emerged on social media and through family members.
