A daredevil climber fell to his death from a high-rise building in Hong Kong after last being seen knocking on a window on the 68th floor.
Remi Lucidi, 30, also known as “Remi Enigma”, was seen by a building worker knocking from the outside of the window, suggesting he may have been trapped and asking for help, reported the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Tregunter Tower, which Mr Lucidi fell from on Thursday, is located in the city’s upscale Mid-Levels area.
The Frenchman had fallen 721ft to his death by the time the police arrived and officers found his camera, containing video of extreme sports. Mr Lucidi, who described himself as a Hong Kong-based photographer, had climbed structures across the world to capture selfies.
According to media reports, Mr Lucidi arrived at the Tregunter building at 7.30pm on Thursday, telling a security guard that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor, although the resident named has since denied knowing him.
CCTV footage revealed that the climber took the elevator to the 49th floor and then the stairs to level 68 before forcing open the door to the rooftop.
His most recent Instagram posts show nail-biting snapshots from towering structures in Lisbon, Dubai and Bulgaria.
In one shot in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, Mr Lucidi is seen balancing on a metal ladder with one hand and one foot while taking a picture of himself with a selfie stick using the other hand – the Bulgarian countryside far below.

Darwin award.
Oh well , next
As long as he didn’t hurt anyone on the ground.
Former Daredevil Climber.....
Guess he was impaled by his selfie stick... One less idiot in the world.
Article makes no sense. He took the stairs to 68, forces himself to the roof, but 68 is where he knocked on the window? And he got in a jam? There are nothing but terraces alternating with sheer facing on that tower.
Quite the splat, no?
Now he’s a Jackson Pollock painting.
Maybe he should have been a plumber seeing he can plunge so well.
That crap isn’t art…
He could make a lot of money if he videotaped the fall on the way down
Not the fall but the sudden stop
And if he was able to capture his screaming on the way down then yes…cha ching!
a fool and there life are soon parted
It wasn’t the fall that killed him. It was the abrupt stop.
Reminds me of a funny rant by Tommy Sotomayor where he says, “you never hear black guys dying “doing what they loved.” It’s always white people doing some crazy sh&t.”
That pictures makes me cringe.
It’s not the fall....it’s the sudden stop.
