According to a statement released by the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force, the actor, identified as Christian Klesper, and his two daughters (aged 10 and 12) were aboard a private plane from Paget Farm, Bequia headed to St. Lucia before crash landing in the Caribbean Sea.

The RSVGPF shared that the plane took off around noon from Paget Farm and “experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean” shortly after takeoff. Oliver, his daughters, and the pilot and owner of the aircraft were initially found by divers and fishermen from Paget Farm, and then handed over to the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Coast Guard. The exact cause of death has yet to be revealed, but it is believed that all four passengers died on impact.
