Daredevil’s chilling ‘Matrix’ post days before fatal fall from 721ft skyscraper

The daredevil who died after falling from a 721ft skyscraper shared chilling social media posts just days before the tragic incident.

Remi Lucidi, 30, known as Remi Enigma on social media, was a photographer who made a name for himself by scaling various tall buildings around the world.

The Frenchman reached the 68th floor of Tregunter Tower in Hong Kong before his fatal fall last Thursday (July 27).

He was spotted by a maid knocking on the windows of the penthouse, attempting to get help. According to South China Morning Post, sources said he got trapped outside.

Police found Remi's camera containing videos of other risky stunts he'd done. He also shared similar footage in the days leading up to the fall.

Just two weeks ago he shared an image he took high up on a structure in Bulgaria using a selfie stick. The caption read: "Life is too short to chase unicorns," followed by a skull emoji.

In another post from one week ago he appeared lying down on the roof of a building using a drone to capture his surroundings. The caption read: "The Matrix has you…⁣"

One person commented on that post following his death: "This is chilling. RIP." Another fan said: "Rest in paradise brother."

Remi reportedly managed to enter Tregunter Tower last week after telling a security guard he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. The resident he named has since denied knowing him.

CCTV shows Remi taking the lift to the 49th floor before going up the stairs to the 68th – the highest floor in the building. He then managed to unlock the door to the roof.

Police who rushed to the scene confirmed he had died.
