According to the South China Morning Post, Remi Lucidi,30, was last observed Thursday pounding on the window of a penthouse on the 68th story of the 721ft (219m) Tregunter Tower.
After observing the 30-year-old outside the window where Mr. Lucidi was allegedly trying to get assistance before falling, a building maid reportedly phoned the police.
According to police, the daredevil, known online as Remi Enigma, had already fallen when they arrived.
According to reports, Mr. Lucidi’s sports camera, which held recordings of extreme activities, and his French ID card were discovered at the scene. Police did not release the identity of the 30-year-old man whose body was discovered on a patio in the city’s Mid-Levels neighborhood. A source told that “preliminary investigation suggested the man was an extreme sports enthusiast.”
It’s probable that while engaging in an extreme activity , he became stranded outside the penthouse and knocked on the window for assistance before accidently falling to his death.
