A French daredevil, Remi Lucidi, known for scaling skyscrapers around the world has died after falling from the 68th floor of a building in Hong Kong. 30-year-old Remi was at the Tregunter Tower complex in Hong Kong when he fell to his death after reportedly getting trapped outside a penthouse.
According to investigators, Lucidi arrived at the building in the evening and told the security guard that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. He is believed to have made his way to the top floor and got trapped outside. He frantically started knocking on a window, startling a maid inside. The stuntman then lost his footing and fell.
Police then later received a call about a gas leak, which prompted officers to discover Lucidi’s body. Authorities say Lucidi broke a gas pipe for the building during his fall.
He was found by police on the patio of an apartment and later identified by local media reports. He was found with his French IDÂ and a camera used to film his participation in extreme sports.
According to a report in the South China Morning Post, police say Lucidi may have been trapped in the building and was looking for help before the incident.
French daredevil gained social media fame by taking photos of himself on tall structures throughout the world.
