He was only 51 years old: Christian Klepser, known by his stage name Christian Oliver and his role as Jan Richter in “Alarm for Cobra 11”, died in a plane crash in the Caribbean. On board the ill-fated plane were his two daughters Madita and Annik, aged ten and twelve. They also did not survive the disaster on the archipelago of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to RTL, local authorities have confirmed the crash. According to them, the single-engine plane took off from the largest island, Becquia, on Thursday afternoon. The plane was on its way to the island nation of St. Lucia, 65 miles away. “Fishermen and divers went to the scene to provide assistance. The Coast Guard was informed and quickly traveled to Paget Farm, Bequia to lead the rescue work,” the authorities’ statement said.
According to police, not only the actor and his daughters died in the accident, but also the pilot and owner of the plane: “The four bodies were recovered by coast guard personnel and later pronounced dead by a doctor.”
“It’s absolutely horrible and my thoughts are with the mother. The idea of staying behind as a parent and having to endure this horror is indescribable,” says Erdogan Atalay, who was in front of the camera with Christian Oliver, to RTL. After his time on “Alarm für Cobra 11”, where he was the co-star of the series alongside Atalay for several seasons, he appeared in front of the camera for the Hollywood productions “The Good German” and “Valkyrie”, among others.
