A French daredevil by the name of Remi Lucidi has leaped to his death in a stunt gone wrong. He was banging for help when he lost his footing.
Remi Lucidi Was Asking For Help
The adventurous Lucidi was last seen banging for help on the outside of the 68th floor penthouse apartment Tregunter Tower on Thursday. A maid called the police and told them she witnessed the stuntman banging and asking for help before losing his footing and falling.
When police arrived, they found he had already fallen to his death. Lucidi, who goes by the professional name Remi Enigma was announced dead at the scene. His deadly stunt may have been caught by his sports camera that was found nearby.
Allegedly the 30-year-old’s body was found on a patio in the city's Mid-Levels area, but police would not confirm if it was Lucidi or not.
Hong Kong Authorities Not Releasing Information
Little nuggets of information are being released from sources close to the authorities. "A preliminary investigation suggested the man was an extreme sports enthusiast,” claimed one source.
“It is possible that he got trapped outside the penthouse while practicing an extreme sport in the building, and he knocked on the window for help, but accidentally fell to his death.” It was reported that earlier in the day, Lucidi was seen entering the Tregunter Tower, in Hong Kong.
It was around 6 pm on Thursday and when asked by security what his business was in the building, he said he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. Then CCTV cameras caught him getting off on the 49th floor.
Remi Lucidi's Adventure Didn’t Last Long
According to the South China Morning Post, the maid reported that the time she witnessed Lucidi banging for help was at 7:30 pm. Lucidi had just gotten to Hong Kong a week ahead of his passing.
His last social media post was of Hong Kong Time Square all lit up at night, an endless playground for someone like Lucidi. “Hong Kong,” he wrote with a black heart. The picture is beautiful.
He also shared a video of himself laying on his back and zooming out to reveal his laying high in the sky of an extremely tall building. This man really had no fear! He regularly posted about his love of getting higher and higher into the sky.
