The world of extreme urban exploration mourned the untimely passing of Remi Lucidi, a daring Frenchman known for his daring escapades climbing skyscrapers around the globe. The heart-wrenching incident occurred in Hong Kong’s upscale Mid-Levels area, where Lucidi fell from the 68th floor of Tregunter Tower, according to a report by South China Morning Post. He was a mere 30 years old at the time of his unfortunate demise.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that Lucidi was last spotted desperately knocking on the window of a penthouse on the 68th floor shortly before the tragic event. The police were alerted by a domestic worker who had seen the unfamiliar figure outside the window around 7:30 pm that evening. Speculations arose that Lucidi might have been seeking assistance or attempting to attract attention to his predicament, hinting at a potential accidental trap on the high-rise floor.
In the aftermath of the incident, investigators discovered Lucidi’s camera, which contained riveting videos of his death-defying stunts. His adrenaline-pumping adventures were showcased on his Instagram account, where he boasted a substantial following of over 3,000 avid fans. Among his daring feats, his final post was an awe-inspiring view from the pinnacle of a building in Hong Kong’s iconic Times Square, merely a week before his tragic fall.
Lucidi’s thrill-seeking endeavors were not confined to Hong Kong alone, as his Instagram was a gallery of astonishing shots and videos from various cities worldwide. One captivating drone video displayed him fearlessly lying on the terrace of a high-rise in Bangkok. Other photos showcased his exhilarating moments atop skyscrapers in Dubai, Hong Kong, France, Poland, and Colombia, proving that he was a globetrotting adventurer in search of the ultimate heights.
Last October, he captured the attention of viewers worldwide when he scaled the tallest chimney in France, showcasing his audacity to conquer even the most vertiginous structures.
While Lucidi’s daring feats captivated many, his untimely demise serves as a poignant reminder of the risks involved in such high-stakes urban exploration.
