The tragic news has shaken the entertainment world. Christian Oliver, known for his roles in films like Speed Racer and The Good German, and his two lovely daughters lost their lives in a plane crash in the Caribbean, as confirmed by the police in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
This heartbreaking incident occurred on Thursday, just west of the picturesque Petit Nevis island near Bequia. They were heading towards St. Lucia aboard a single-engine plane when trouble struck shortly after takeoff, leading to the plane crashing into the ocean.
“Moments after taking off, the aircraft experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean,” investigators reported.
In a rush to help, local divers, fishermen, and the coast guard acted swiftly to reach the site and provide assistance. Tragically, military personnel later recovered the bodies of Christian Oliver, his daughters Madita, aged 10, and Annik, aged 12, along with the pilot and owner of the plane, Robert Sachs from Bequia.
The exact cause of the crash remains unknown at this time.
According to Deadline, Oliver had just completed shooting for his latest film, Forever Hold Your Peace. Nick Lyon, the director, shared a picture of himself and Oliver on Instagram late Thursday night.
“We talked about producing a film together for years and finally did it,” Lyon wrote, reflecting on their longstanding working relationship. He mentioned that they had collaborated on five projects over the years. “Thank you for being a great colleague, actor, and friend,” he added.
Lyon praised Oliver as “such a brave actor and a beautiful person,” a sentiment echoed by many who knew him.
In a heartfelt statement, Oliver’s ex-wife, the mother of their daughters, expressed her grief, sharing, “The deep bond, infectious laughter, and adventurous spirit shared by Madita and Annik will be profoundly missed in their communities.”
Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Christian Oliver and his daughters during this incredibly difficult time. May they rest in peace.
