An ROV located the rear cover and the landing frame from the sub, so those are components that wouldn't have been subject to shattering upon implosion like the passenger capsule would have been.
It was found 1640 ft. (quarter mile) away from the Titanic, so they never got to the wreckage site, that's just where the remaining pieces of the sub drifted down after it shattered. That distance aligns perfectly with the lost comms at 1:45:00 into descent, as it takes ~2 hours to get there.
They might have known some weird shit was going wrong with the sub, but they died instantly... the most preferable way possible in this whole situation.
