We are deeply saddened to report the tragic news of the death of actor Christian Klepser, also known as Christian Oliver, who appeared in the popular movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Christian and his two young daughters were on vacation in the Caribbean when the plane they were traveling in crashed into the ocean near the island of Bequia.

Born and raised in Frankfurt, Germany, Christian moved to the United States as an adult to pursue his dreams of working as a model. After taking acting classes, he transitioned into a full-time acting career. He not only appeared in the Indiana Jones film but also had roles in Speed Racer and The Good German.

The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force has confirmed that the 51-year-old actor and his daughters, Madita (10 years old) and Annik (12 years old), were on board a small plane that experienced difficulties shortly after take-off and ultimately crashed into the ocean. The pilot, Robert Sachs, also lost his life in the tragedy.

Fishermen, divers, and Coast Guard personnel worked together to recover all four bodies from the wreckage. Our thoughts and condolences go out to all those affected by this heartbreaking incident. May they rest in peace.
