Daredevil Tragedy: Renowned skyscraper climber falls to death in Hong Kong high-rise stunt
Daredevil Tragedy: Remi Lucidi, a 30-year-old renowned daredevil known for his extreme sports and high-rise climbing feats, met a tragic end after falling from the 68th floor of a residential building in Hong Kong.
According to reports from the South China Morning Post, Lucidi was attempting to scale the Tregunter Tower complex when the accident occurred. He was found dead at the scene, having apparently lost his footing while climbing. Reports suggest that he got trapped outside the top-floor penthouse, where he frantically knocked on a window, startling a maid inside.
The sequence of events leading to the fatal fall began around 6 pm when Lucidi was spotted at the building's entrance, claiming to visit a friend residing on the 40th floor. However, security personnel became suspicious after verifying with the alleged friend that they were not acquainted with the daredevil. Despite their attempts to halt him, Lucidi had already entered an elevator.

CCTV footage captured his movements as he reached the 49th floor and later made his way up the stairs to the building's rooftop. Although a hatch leading to the roof was found open, there was no sign of Lucidi.
At 7:38 pm, witnesses spotted him alive, tapping on the window of the penthouse. Concerned, the maid inside the apartment immediately contacted the police for help. Tragically, Lucidi was trapped outside the penthouse and desperately seeking assistance when he lost his balance and fell.
Upon investigating the scene, authorities discovered Lucidi's camera, which contained videos of his daring high-rise stunts. However, the police have not yet disclosed the official cause of death.
Remi Lucidi's death marks the end of a daring and adventurous life, where he fearlessly pursued extreme challenges. His high-rise climbing feats and thrilling stunts have left a lasting impact on the world of daredevil sports, but his untimely demise serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers in such perilous pursuits.
