In a tragic incident, American actor Christian Oliver and his two daughters lost their lives in the Caribbean after the plane they were on crashed into the ocean shortly after taking off from an island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The Royal Police Force of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines reported that the single-engine plane, owned and piloted by Robert Sacks, a resident of Bequia, went down in the sea about one nautical mile west of Petit Nevis Island around noon on Thursday. The police stated on Facebook, "The aircraft took off from JF Mitchell Airport at Bagatelle around 12:11 PM heading for Saint Lucia as its final destination. Moments after takeoff, the plane encountered difficulties and fell into the ocean."
The crash victims have been identified as Christian Klepser, 55, his daughters Madita, 10, and Annik, 12. The pilot was also killed in the crash. In his last post on Instagram four days prior, Oliver shared a picture of people gathered on the beach and wrote, "Greetings from somewhere in heaven! To community and love... here we come in 2024!"
It is noteworthy that Klepser, known professionally as Christian Oliver, worked with Steven Soderbergh on The Good German alongside Cate Blanchett and George Clooney, Brian Singer and Tom Cruise on Valkyrie, and the Wachowski sisters on Sense8. The actor also appeared in the 1995 film adaptation of the popular book series "The Baby-Sitters Club."
