Tragic Plane Crash Claims the Lives of Indiana Jones Actress Christian Klepser and Daughters
Mourning the Loss of Actor Christian Oliver and His Children in Caribbean Accident
Social media was used by Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force to confirm the death of Indiana Jones actress Christian Klepser and her two daughters on Thursday in a plane crash off the coast of a Caribbean island.
The 51-year-old actor, better known to his fans as Christian Oliver, was traveling with his daughters, Madita (10) and Annik (12), when Robert Sachs piloted a single-engine aircraft that crashed into the water sometime around midday close to the Caribbean island of Bequia.
After being removed from the aircraft, their bodies were taken to the mortuary at St. Vincent's Kingstown, where post-mortem tests are scheduled to be performed in order to determine the cause of death.
About 12:11 p.m., the aircraft took off from the J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm with St. Lucia as its final destination. The aircraft encountered problems shortly after takeoff and crashed into the sea, according to a post on the RSVG Police Force's official Facebook page.
The matter is currently being looked into further.
