What was Remi Lucidi known for?

Lucidi was known for climbing on high-rise buildings across the world including in Portugal, Bulgaria, Colombia, France, Dubai and Poland.

He reportedly started climbing skyscrapers in 2016.

Since then, the stuntman travelled around the world attempting a variety of stunts.

How did Remi Lucidi die?

The Frenchman plunged to his death from the top floor penthouse of Tregunter Tower, in Hong Kong in July 2023.

He fell 721ft from the 68-storey building during a stunt and was confirmed dead at the scene by the authorities.

Lucidi had arrived at the tower on Thursday evening having told a security guard he was visiting a friend.

The resident later denied having known Lucidi, according to the South China Morning Post, sparking a search for the thrill-seeker.

A security guard is said to have tried to stop him but he had already made his way to the top floor.

CCTV footage has revealed Lucidi took the lift to the 49th floor before taking the stairs to get to the top.

He was last seen knocking on the building’s windows calling a maid for help but he fell to his death.

Security officers searching for Remi later found a hatch to the roof open.

A source said police believe the stuntman had been trapped outside the penthouse and was calling for help shortly before his death.

Cops found the man’s camera at the scene which contained videos of his other daredevil stunts.

Gurjit Kaur, the hostel’s owner where Lucidi was staying, described him as a “friendly and humble guy.”

He said: “He was healthy and fit and happy-faced. I feel very sad.”

While a worker who claimed he had spoken to Lucidi said: “He told me he was going to hike a mountain when I asked where he was going.

“He said he wanted to hike a lot when he was here.”

An official cause of death has not yet been recorded.
