Paralimni, Cyprus. A German tourist who drowned in a swimming pool in Paralimni last month has been identified as Riccardo Staudt, a 22-year-old adult content creator known online as “Noah Segsy”.

Staudt was pulled unconscious from the pool at an apartment complex in the Famagusta district at about 9.20pm on August 24 and was later pronounced dead at Famagusta general hospital.


Cause of death

An autopsy conducted by forensic pathologist Dr Nikolas Charalambous confirmed drowning as the cause of death.

Staudt’s identity became publicly known after tributes were posted beneath his social media content. He maintained accounts on Instagram, TikTok, X and OnylFans and had built an audience primarily within the gay community.

Fundraising campaign

A friend of Staudt’s mother has organised a fundraising campaign to cover the cost of repatriating his body to Germany and funeral expenses.

The campaign has raised €20,555 through 465 donations, exceeding its initial target of €14,000.

Police investigation

Police in Paralimni are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the drowning.
