Actor Christian Oliver and his two daughters tragically lost their lives in a plane crash near a small private island in the eastern Caribbean, as reported by authorities in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The incident took place on Thursday, west of Petit Nevis island, as the plane was en route to St. Lucia.
They identified the daughters as Madita Klepser, 10, and Annik Klepser, 12, adding that the pilot, Robert Sachs, also died.
