A 'rooftopper' unwittingly filmed his own death as he was performing a daredevil skyscraper stunt.
Wu Yongning was known for scaling tall buildings without equipment and fell from a 62-storey scraper in Changsha, China.
The climber, 26, was participating in a challenge to win prize money in November, Chinese media reported.
In the horrifying footage, Mr Yongning can be seen sitting on top of the skyscraper before climbing over the side.
He dangles from the edge, doing pull-ups on the side of the building.
Then, he tries to clamber up the skyscraper with his feet but he loses his balance and let's go, plummeting to the ground.
Mr Yongning's body was reportedly found by cleaners.
His uncle told the South China Morning Post: "He planned to propose to his girlfriend [the day after the challenge].
"He needed the money for the wedding, and for medical treatment for his ailing mother."

His fans became concerned after the climber had not posted on any of his channels in a month.
Mr Yongning's girlfriend confirmed his death on social media a month after, on December
Rooftopper Charlie_7U shared a photo taken with Mr Yongning and said on social media: "He went a bit over the top, always trying things that are beyond his ability.
"I have even saved him once... we stopped playing together."
