A French daredevil has reportedly died after falling from a residential skyscraper in Hong Kong.
Remi Lucidi was last seen tapping on the window of a penthouse on the 68th floor of the 721-foot (219m) Diligent Tower, according to source.
A maid in the building is said to have called police after spotting the 30-year-old man outside a window, while Mr Lucidi apparently tried to call for help before losing his balance.
The daredevil, known on social media as Remi Enigma, collapsed before officers arrived, police said.
Mr Lucidi's action camera was reportedly found at the scene, along with his French identity card, which contained videos of extreme sports.
Police said the body of a 30-year-old man was found on a patio in the city's Mid-Levels area, but they did not identify the man. A source told the news site: "Initial investigations revealed that the man was an extreme sports enthusiast."
"It is possible that he was trapped outside the penthouse while practicing extreme sports inside the building, knocked on the window for help and fell to his death."
According to reports, Mr Lucidi entered the Diligend Building in Hong Kong's upscale Mid-Levels around 6pm on Thursday and told security that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor.
CCTV reportedly caught him leaving the elevator on the 49th floor and then walking up the stairs to the top floor again, where a door was forced open.
According to the South China Morning Post, he was last spotted by the maid around 7.30pm knocking on the attic window.
Mr Lucidi’s last Instagram post, on July 24, included a photo of a view taken from the top of the Times Square tower in Hong Kong. According to reports, he allegedly checked into a hotel in Hong Kong on July 17.
Hotel owner Gurjit Kaur told The Washington Post that Lucidi had always been a loner, but he was a "friendly and humble person" when they talked.
"He is in good health and has a pleasant countenance," she said Saturday. "I am very depressed." Lucidi has previously shared photos of herself on top of high-rise buildings in places like Paris, Dubai and Thailand.
Urban explorers paid tribute to Mr Lucidi in posts on his Instagram, with one writing: "Rest in peace brother. No one wants to hear sad news about a fellow explorer."
Another posted: "Brother out and about doing what he loves! He's living life to the fullest. Not many people can say that."
法国冒失鬼从香港摩天大楼坠落身亡
据报道，一名法国冒失鬼从香港一栋住宅摩天大楼坠落身亡。
据消息人士称，雷米·卢西迪最后一次被人看到敲击位于 721 英尺（219m）高的 Diligent 大厦 68 层的一套顶层公寓的窗户。
据说，大楼内的一名女佣在窗外发现了这名 30 岁的男子后报了警，而 Lucidi 先生显然在失去平衡之前试图寻求帮助。
警方称，这名冒失鬼在社交媒体上被称为雷米·恩尼格玛(Remi Enigma)，在警察到达之前就倒下了。
据报道，Lucidi 先生的运动相机以及他的法国身份证在现场被发现，其中包含极限运动的视频。
警方表示，在该市半山地区的一个露台上发现了一名 30 岁男子的尸体，但他们没有透露该男子的身份。
一位消息人士告诉新闻网站：“初步调查显示，该男子是一名极限运动爱好者。”
“他有可能是在楼内练习极限运动时被困在顶层公寓外，敲窗户求救后坠楼身亡。”
据报道，Lucidi先生于周四下午6点左右进入香港高档半山的Diligend大厦，并告诉保安他正在40楼拜访一位朋友。
据报道，闭路电视拍到他在 49 楼离开电梯，然后再次走上楼梯到顶楼，那里的门被强行打开。
据《南华早报》报道，他最后一次被女佣发现是在晚上 7 点 30 分左右敲阁楼窗户。
Lucidi 先生于 7 月 24 日发布的最后一篇 Instagram 帖子中包含一张从香港时代广场塔楼顶部拍摄的风景照片。
据报道，他据称于7月17日入住香港一家酒店。
酒店老板古尔吉特·考尔告诉《华盛顿邮报》，卢西迪一直是个独来独往的人，但在他们交谈时，他是一个“友好而谦虚的人”。
“他身体健康，面容愉快，”她周六说。 “我很沮丧。”露西迪此前曾分享过自己在巴黎、迪拜和泰国等地高层建筑顶上的照片。
城市探险家们在 Lucidi 先生的 Instagram 上发帖致敬，其中一位写道：“兄弟，安息吧。没有人想听到有关探险家同伴的悲伤消息。”
另一位网友写道：“兄弟出去做他喜欢做的事！他过着充实的生活。没有多少人能这么说。”
