Actor Christian Oliver has died in a tragic plane crash in the Caribbean alongside his two daughters.
Oliver, known for his roles in “Speed Racer” and “Valkyrie” was 51 years old.
Deadline reports that the small plane they were in crashed into the ocean off a Caribbean island on Thursday. The plane’s owner and pilot, Robert Sachs, also passed away in the accident.
Oliver, whose real name is Christian Klepser, and his daughters Madita, 10, and Annik, 12, were the only passengers on the flight according to TMZ.
Authorities say the flight took off from the J.F. Mitchelle Airport, known as the Bequia Airport, which serves St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and was headed to St. Lucia.
“Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft experienced difficulties and nose-dived into the ocean,” the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force said in a statement obtained by Deadline. “Fishermen and divers from Paget Farm went to the scene of the incident in their boats to render assistance.”
All four bodies have been recovered.
The cause is currently under investigation.
