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.

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

I fell from a forty foot ladder.
Fortunately, I was only on the first rung when I fell.
I see that gravity still remains undefeated.

TRUE STORY: An eternity ago (1964 to be specific), when I was in third grade, my school (amazingly) allowed me to go across the street to my home for lunch each day - as long as I returned before the bell stopped ringing.
One such day, as I was about to rush back to class, I realized I had a major need to visit the bathroom, which caused me to barely make it back to class just as the bell went silent.
As I sat there in class, sweating and trying to catch my breath from my run, I began to laugh uncontrollably. I think it was the hardest I ever laughed in my life, until this very day almost 60 years later. I laughed so hard that my sides started to ache - so hard that I just about fell out onto the floor.
Of course the teacher asked me what was so funny, and between laughs I told of my lunch break, and the need to visit the bathroom. But, as I approached the conclusion of my story, I could hardly speak from the laughing.
Finally ... between gasps .. I shouted to the class ... "Waste ... makes ... haste!"
I'm smiling now as I recount the story.
Very clever for a Third Grader! That is funny.
THanks. It is a treasured memory. :)

The “graphic photos” would have included “hits” from intervening objects, such as parked cars.
My information comes ðiŕectly from a Medical Examiner in the case of a young skydiver, whose parachute sadly didn’t open.
Landed in a field. I worked the case in my years with Miami CSI.

I think he was high on something.
