It has been reported that the actor passed away after a plane crash in the Caribbean.

The plane's pilot, Robert Sachs, and Oliver's two young daughters also died in the crash.

According to a Facebook post from the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force, the small, one-engine plane took off from the J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm.

The aircraft was en route to St. Lucia when it crashed into the sea one nautical mile west of Petit Nevis, off the coast of Bequia.

On January 6, 2024, his ex-wife and her family shared a statement saying: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic plane accident on January 4, 2024, which took the lives of our beloved family members. Our daughters, Madita (12), and Annik (10), along with their father Christian, were returning from a holiday in the Caribbean when the single-engine plane they were traveling in experienced engine trouble and fell into the ocean. Unfortunately, all four passengers on the small aircraft did not survive."

"Madita, a vibrant 7th-grade student at Louis Armstrong Middle School, was known for her lively spirit and excelled in academics, dance, singing, and performances."

The statement continued: "Annik, a 4th-grade student at Wonderland Ave Elementary School, was recognized for her gentle yet strong demeanor. She was always the first to offer a kind word or a comforting hug. Her passions included basketball, swimming, and various forms of art."

"The deep bond, infectious laughter, and adventurous spirit shared by Madita and Annik will be profoundly missed in their communities.

"Their devoted mother, Jessica Klepser in LA, survives the girls. They also leave behind their grandparents, several aunts, uncles, and cousins in Germany."
