A daredevil who tragically died after falling 721ft from a building shared a haunting post days before his death.
Remi Lucidi - known as Remi Enigma on social media - was a photographer who became renowned for his hair-raising escapades that involved him climbing towering buildings all around the world.
Tragically, the 30-year-old skyscraper climber lost his life during one of his risky adventures after reportedly getting trapped outside the Tregunter Tower complex in Hong Kong, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
According to investigators, Lucidi arrived at the penthouse in the evening and told the security guard that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. He then reportedly made his way to the top floor and got trapped outside, so he started frantically banging on all the windows to get back inside the residential building, per The Independent.
Unfortunately, the social media star ended up losing his footing and plunged from the 68th floor, dying instantly.
Hong Kong police officials alleged that the tall building's security guard attempted to cross-examine the man's claim of visiting a friend but he had already caught an elevator by then, according to The New York Post.
An insider also told the outlet that the daredevil was last seen knocking on a penthouse window on the 68th floor at about 7:30PM - which prompted a shocked maid to contact the police.
Furthermore, a report stated that security footage showed the photographer walking up the stairs to the top level but it was locked, so he forced the door open so that he could take a snapshot from the roof.

Just days before his death, the skyscraper took to his Instagram to share a harrowing picture he took high up on a structure in Bulgaria using a selfie stick. The caption eerily read: "Life is too short to chase unicorns," followed by a skull emoji.
Many of Lucidi's 49.4K followers have now flooded the comment section with tribute messages and condolences to his family:
Before his sudden death, the late adventurer had been staying at a hostel in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is in southern Kowloon. The hostel owner, Gurjit Kaur, recalled the last conversation he had with Lucidi, saying he was a "friendly and humble guy".
An employee at the hostel also claimed that Lucidi was only visiting Hong Kong on vacation, adding: "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."
Police did not find Lucidi until his body was back on the ground. They also discovered his sports camera at the scene, which contained videos of extreme sports.
Our thoughts continue to go out to Lucidi's family, friends, and fans at this time.
