According to Shanghaiist, he was known to be “China’s first roof topper”.

‘Roof-topping’ is an often illegal activity that require thrill-seekers to climb up to dangerous heights just to take a selfie or a video.

According to The Straits Times, Wu was on a 62-storey building in Changsha, China. He was trying to lower himself down the side of the building using his hands only and do chin-ups.

He succeeded once but things went wrong when he tried again.

He had difficulty completing the action and was seen struggling in the video.

The 26-year-old hung onto the edge of the building for 20 seconds before he lost his grip and fell.

Wu took up a challenge which promised 100,000yuan (S$20,400).

According to The Beijing News, Wu’s girlfriend called the police on Nov 9, after he failed to return.

His death was verified by his girlfriend one month later via her Weibo account.

The South Morning Post says that Wu performs his stunts without any safety equipment.
