Remi Lucidi, a French daredevil known for his snaps from the top of high-rise buildings, has died after falling from a 721-foot-high skyscraper in Hong Kong.
The 30-year-old, also known as Remi Enigma, was climbings the Tregunter Tower complex when he fell to his death from the 68th floor, according to media reports.
He reportedly made his way up to the top floor via the inside of the building after telling a security guard he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. The resident has since denied knowing Mr Lucidi.
The South China Morning Post reported that he then got trapped outside a penthouse and started knocking on a window, startling a maid, before he lost his footing and fell.
The stuntman – known as Remi Enigma on social media – has a history of scaling tall buildings and structures around the world, including skyscrapers, cranes, bridges and pylons.
In his last Instagram post on July 24, Lucidi uploaded a photo of tall buildings from atop another building with the caption – “Hong Kong”.
Security footage showed Lucidi making it to the 48th floor of the building using the elevator and then taking the stairs to reach the top. Those who were trying to stop Lucidi said that they found the hatch leading to the roof open but could not spot Lucidi anywhere, the report added.
