Christian Oliver, a Hollywood actor also known as Christian Klepser, tragically lost his life alongside his two daughters in a Caribbean plane crash that claimed the lives of all onboard. The small plane they were traveling in encountered difficulties shortly after takeoff and crashed into the ocean.
Oliver, best known for his roles in The Baby-Sitters Club (1995), The Good German, and Speed Racer, was tragically flying with his two young daughters, 10-year-old Madita Klepser and 12-year-old Annik Klepser. Tragically, all four onboard, including the owner and pilot of the plane, Robert Sachs, were confirmed dead after their bodies were recovered following the crash on Thursday, January 4th.

Local fishermen and divers from Paget Farm on the small island of Bequia were the first to arrive at the scene. They successfully recovered the bodies and then transferred them into the care of the Grenadines Coast Guard.
The bodies have been transferred to Saint Vincent for post-mortem examinations to determine the cause of death. Although the cause of the crash is still unknown, the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority informed CBS News that they are actively gathering information to aid in the investigation.
