Daredevil known for high-rise stunts dead after falling from 68th floor

A French man who is known for extreme sports is dead after falling off the 68th-story of Hong Kong residential.

Remi Lucidi, 30, was climbing the Tregunter Tower complex when the man fell according to the South China Morning Post.

Lucidi, known online as Remi Enigma, was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to Hong Kong officials, Lucidi arrived at the building around 6 p.m. and told the security guard that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor.

A security officer attempted to apprehend Lucidi after the alleged friend confirmed he was not acquainted with Lucidi — but by then the stuntman had already secured an elevator.

Security footage later glimpsed Lucidi arriving on the 49th floor and then again taking the stairs up to the top of the building.

According to those in pursuit of Lucidi, they found the hatch leading to the roof open, but he was nowhere in sight.

Police say the man was last seen alive at 7:38 p.m. when he tapped on the window of the complex’s penthouse, prompting a maid to call the police.

His last words were, “I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.”

A source close to the incident revealed that police found Lucidi’s camera at the scene and it contained videos of his other death-defying acts.

Was there video of his most recent act that did not defy death?

That’s like being hit by an Oldsmobile that’s doing 120 mph...A quick death.

“...was pronounced dead at the scene...”

No need for autopsy to determine cause of death. Intestines would be hanging out 20 feet.

Police have yet to issue an official cause of death.

Yeah, it's a mystery.

The fall wasn’t so bad, it was hitting the pavement.

“His last words were...”

“so far so good...” as he passed 10th floor.

It would take a while to fall 68 stories. I bet the perceived time is a lot longer.

I heard China, as a tribute to daredevil, will return his remains to France by shooting them out of a large cannon.

I slipped off a wet ladder yesterday.

Fell about 5' and twisted an ankle. Didn't make any headlines.

” was pronounced dead at the scene. “

Did they scoop up enough of him to be sure?

Another Vax-related death.
