Christian Oliver, known for his roles in films like Speed Racer and The Good German, tragically lost his life along with his two daughters in a plane crash in the Caribbean, as reported by police in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to authorities, the crash took place near Petit Nevis island close to Bequia while the plane was en route to St. Lucia. It has been revealed that they were aboard a single-engine aircraft that reportedly encountered technical issues shortly after takeoff, leading to the crash into the water.
Investigators stated, “Moments after taking off, the aircraft experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean.”
Local divers, fishermen, and members of the coast guard swiftly responded to the scene, and eventually, military personnel were able to recover the bodies of the passengers, including Oliver, his daughters Madita (10) and Annik (12), and the pilot, Robert Sachs from Bequia.
The exact cause of the crash is yet to be determined.
Deadline reported that Oliver had recently wrapped up filming his final scenes for the movie Forever Hold Your Peace. Director Nick Lyon shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, reminiscing about their collaborations over the years. Lyon described Oliver as a “brave actor and a beautiful person.”
In a statement, Oliver’s ex-wife expressed the profound loss felt by their daughters’ communities as they remembered the close bond they shared.
