People know Christian Oliver from his roles in Indiana Jones and Speed Racer. He and his two young girls died Thursday when their small plane crashed near Petit Nevis Island in the eastern Caribbean. He was 51 years old, and Madita Klepser was 10 and Annik Klepser was 12. Before it crashed into the water off of Bequia in the Caribbean, the plane was going to St. Lucia.
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Investigate The Matter
Divers and fishermen rushed to the scene, but Christian, his girls, and their pilot, Robert Sachs, were already dead when they got there. Their bodies were later found.
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said in a statement to the media, “shortly after takeoff, the aircraft experienced problems and nose-dived into the ocean.”
The crash’s cause is still being looked into. Local news sources say that soon after takeoff, the pilot radioed the tower to say that he was having problems and would be coming back. This was their last communication.
The actor just finished shooting his new movie, Forever Hold Your Peace. On Thursday, the movie’s director, Nick Lyon, shared the news on Instagram.
