Overview
- Riccardo Staudt, 22, known online as Noah Segsy, was pulled from a swimming pool in the Famagusta/Paralimni area and later pronounced dead at a Famagusta hospital after an emergency call placed at about 21:20, according to multiple reports.
- An autopsy reported by German outlets found drowning to be the cause of death, though the official forensic report has been cited in media coverage rather than released directly by local authorities.
- Police in Paralimni have opened an investigation and say key facts remain unresolved, including how Staudt entered the water, whether other people were present, and who recovered him from the pool.
- Friends and fans have posted condolences on social media under his last Instagram post, and a public fundraising campaign is under way to cover repatriation costs and funeral expenses for his family.
- Staudt had registered a company in Paralimni in 2023, a local tie that shapes repatriation and investigative logistics, and authorities’ next public steps to clarify the timeline and identify witnesses will determine how the case proceeds.
