An actor who starred in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Christian Klepser, known by his stage name Christian Oliver, tragically lost his life along with his two young daughters in a plane crash. The incident occurred while they were on holiday in the Caribbean.
The family was aboard a small plane near the island of Bequia, a part of St. Vincent, when the aircraft suddenly plunged into the ocean, claiming the lives of all on board. Klepser, originally from Frankfurt, Germany, relocated to the United States as an adult to pursue a career as a model. After taking acting classes, he transitioned into the acting profession full-time and had roles in movies such as Speed Racer and The Good German.
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force reported that the 51-year-old actor and his two daughters, Madita, aged 10, and Annik, aged 12, were traveling on a small plane that encountered “difficulties” and subsequently crashed into the ocean. The plane, which was owned and operated by Robert Sachs, who also lost his life in the crash, had recently taken off from the J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm, Bequia, shortly after midday on January 4. The intended destination of the flight was the island of St. Lucia.
Although the exact cause of the crash has not been disclosed by authorities, it is believed that issues arose shortly after take-off. Fishermen, divers, and Coast Guard personnel collaborated to retrieve all four bodies from the wreckage.
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force expressed their condolences to everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives in this plane crash. May they rest in peace.
