Rémi Lucidi is a French adventurer known for his death-defying stunts. The online character Remi Enigma, who was Lucidi, was declared dead there. According to Hong Kong officials, Lucidi entered the building around 6 p.m. and told the security guard that he was going to visit a friend on the 40th floor.
After the alleged friend admitted he didn’t know Lucidi, a security guard attempted to detain Lucidi, but by then the stuntman had already done a trick. In security footage, Lucidi was then observed entering the building from the 49th level and then climbing the stairs again to reach the top of the building.
Those searching for Lucidi reported that the roof hatch was open, but he was not located. Police say the man was last seen alive at 7:38 p.m. when a housekeeper was alerted to his presence by a knock on the window of the penthouse building.
Is Rémi Lucidi dead?
Rémi Lucidi’s antics were not for the faint of heart. It was in this 68-story building in Hong Kong that the 30-year-old French extreme sports daredevil was discovered dead. Mr Lucidi apparently fell while climbing the Tregunter Tower complex.
At the scene, a coroner declared the daredevil dead. It is believed he became trapped outside the top floor flat as he violently banged on a window to frighten a maid inside. The man lost his balance and died, according to media sources.
According to Hong Kong officials, Mr. Lucidi arrived at the structure around 6 p.m. and informed the security guard at the door that he was going to the 40th floor to see a friend. The media site claimed that when the alleged friend admitted he did not know Mr Lucidi, the security gate attempted to stop him, but he was already in an elevator at the time.
Mr Lucidi can be seen on surveillance film entering the building on the 49th floor before climbing the stairs to the top of the structure. However, they claim the man was not discovered anywhere despite the roof hatch being open. But at 7:38 p.m., a housekeeper in the apartment noticed him moving and heard him banging on the complex’s penthouse window, so she called the police.
Media sources said Mr Lucidi was left stranded outside the penthouse and was banging on the window for help when he lost his footing. When police arrived, they discovered Mr. Lucidi’s camera, which contained film of his actions in the skyscrapers. The official cause of death has not been released by police.
