Very doubtful that there’s skeletal remains but not impossible.

Bodies nearly always float in salt water, and most of the ones from the Titanic were still on the surface a few days later. Any that didn't certainly would have been carried away by currents/turbulence well before the wreckage reached the bottom of the ocean. Which means the only bodies that might still be in the wreckage are those belonging to people who were trapped in the lower decks, of which there were very few. And given the fragility of the wreckage, we can't actually reach those areas to see if there's anything left after over a hundred years of predation (somewhat unlikely, given that the local microorganisms have done such a thorough job eating people's abandoned luggage.)
