This is the shocking moment a Chinese daredevil falls to his death after losing grip on a building. Wu Yongning called himself 'China's First Rooftopper'.

His girlfriend confirmed his death this month after fans began speculating on his demise when his account went weeks without uploading new content.
Yongning was in the process of shooting a new video and was clinging to the side of the 62-story Huayuan International Center when he appeared to lose his grip and fall; his body was reportedly later discovered by a window cleaner.


Police described his death as an "accident" and have already ruled out foul play, saying he lost his grip and fell about 45 feet onto a terrace and died from fatal injuries suffered during or shortly after the accident.
According to Chinese media reports, Yongning was participating in a challenge to win the equivalent of $15,000 when he recorded the Weibo video.

Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not
