He risked everything – including his life – for a unique selfie.
Remi Lucidi, better known by his stage name “Remi Enigma”, died in an accident in Hong Kong on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Frenchman apparently wanted to take a spectacular photo when he fell to his death – 68 floors down. The exact circumstances of the accident are mysterious.
“Remi Enigma” was a rooftopper – someone who illegally climbed high-rise buildings without protection and distributed photos and videos of them on the Internet. He climbed buildings, cranes, bridges, pylons and transmitters all over the world.
As the “South China Morning Post” now reports, Remi is said to have appeared on Saturday around 6 p.m. (local time) at the “Tregunter Towers” residential high-rise. To gain access to the roof, he told reception that he wanted to visit a friend on the 40th floor. But the alleged buddy did not know the French at all.

According to the South China Morning Post, a security officer is said to have tried to arrest Remi. But too late: He had already disappeared in an elevator.
According to the police report, Remi drove to the 49th floor. From there he walked up the stairs towards the roof. Security followed him. When she got to the top, the hatch to the roof was open, but there was no sign of Remi. He probably hadn’t fallen at that point.
