Authorities rushed to the area but the man was confirmed dead at the scene.

The Frenchman had arrived at the tower on Thursday evening after telling a security guard he was visiting a friend.

The resident later denied knowing Lucidi, South China Morning Post reports, sparking a search for the thrill-seeker.

A security guard tried to stop him but the man had already made his way to the top.

CCTV footage shows Lucidi taking the lift to the 49th floor before taking the stairs to the top.

He was last seen knocking on the building’s windows calling a maid for help but he fell to his death.

Security officers looking for Remi later found a hatch to the roof open.

A source said cops believe the stuntman had been trapped outside the penthouse and was calling for help shortly before his death.

Police found the man’s camera at the scene which contained videos of his other risky stunts.

Gurjit Kaur, the hostel’s owner where Lucidi was staying, described him as a “friendly and humble guy.”

He said: “He was healthy and fit and happy-faced. I feel very sad.”

While a worker who claimed he spoke to Lucidi said: “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.”

Lucidi often shared nail-biting footage of his elaborate stunts with his Instagram followers.

He was known for climbing on high-rise buildings across the world including in Bulgaria, Colombia, France, Dubai and Poland.

Tributes have poured in for the stuntman on his final post on social media where he shared a photo from Times Square in Hong Kong.

“Sad news no one ever wants to hear about a fellow explorer,” one wrote.

Someone said: “Bro went out doing what he loved! He lived his life fully. Not many can say that.”
