A young tourist who mysteriously drowned in a shallow pool last month has been identified as a 22-year-old adult content creator. Riccardo Staudt was pulled unconscious from the swimming pool of an apartment complex in Paralimni, Cyprus, on 24 August.
Emergency services were alerted at around 9.20pm, and an ambulance rushed the German to Famagusta Hospital. But it was too late to save him, and doctors pronounced him dead.
A post-mortem later established that he had drowned. He underwent toxicology tests, but no reliable sources have so far reported whether alcohol, drugs or any other substances were found in his system.
Exactly how the accident happened remains unclear, as the pool was reportedly “not particularly deep”, according to Cypriot media.

Police in Paralimni are still investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Riccardo was a content creator and adult-content performer.
Known online as “Noah Segsy”, he had built up a significant following, particularly within the gay community. Although he was reportedly visiting Cyprus at the time, he had founded his own company in the country in 2023.
Its registered address is listed as Paralimni. A fundraiser has been set up online to raise money for Riccardo’s repatriation to Germany and his funeral.

Riccardo is survived by his mother, Katharina, and grandmother, Anita. “It is with a heavy heart that I am contacting you because my friend has suffered an unimaginable loss. Her beloved son has passed away far too soon,” the fundraiser reads.
It adds: ” Unfortunately, the family now faces high costs for transporting his body and for the funeral. This situation is an enormous burden for the family, not only emotionally but also financially.”
