A French daredevil has died after falling off a residential skyscraper in Hong Kong, reports say.
Remi Lucidi was last seen knocking on the window of a penthouse on the 68th floor of the 721ft (219m) Tregunter Tower on Thursday, according to the South China Morning Post.
A maid in the building is said to have called police after spotting the 30-year-old outside the window as Mr Lucidi apparently tried to seek help before losing his footing.
Police said the daredevil – who goes by the name Remi Enigma on social media – had fallen before officers arrived.
Mr Lucidi’s sports camera, which contained videos of extreme sports, was reportedly found at the scene, along with his French ID card.
Police said a 30-year-old man’s body was found on a patio in the city’s Mid-Levels area, though they did not release the identity of the person.
“A preliminary investigation suggested the man was an extreme sports enthusiast,” a source told the news site.
“It is possible that he got trapped outside the penthouse while practising an extreme sport in the building, and he knocked on the window for help, but accidentally fell to his death.”
Mr Lucidi reportedly entered the Tregunter Tower, located in Hong Kong’s upscale Mid-Levels district, around 6pm on Thursday and told a security guard he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor.
