Staudt was found unconscious in a shallow swimming pool at an apartment complex in Paralimni on 24 August. Emergency services were contacted at around 9:20 p.m., and he was taken by ambulance to Famagusta General Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
A post-mortem examination later determined that drowning was the cause of death. Toxicology testing was also carried out, although no reliable reports have established whether alcohol, drugs or any other substances were present.
Riccardo Staudt AKA Noah Segsy Had Built a Large Online Following
Before his death, Staudt had developed a sizeable audience across social media, including 221,000 followers on Instagram. He was also known as Noah Segsy through his work as an OnlyFans performer and adult content creator.
His sudden death has left friends and family facing not only the emotional shock of losing someone so young, but also the practical costs that come with bringing his body home to Germany.
A fundraiser was launched by his friends to help cover the cost of repatriating Staudt to his family and paying for his funeral. At the time of writing, it had raised €20,555 (£17,589 or $23,737).
A friend of Staudt’s mother, Katharina, wrote on the fundraiser’s page: “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.”
“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.”
Questions Remain About What Happened
The circumstances surrounding Staudt’s drowning remain unclear.
Cypriot media have reported that the swimming pool was “not particularly deep,” raising questions about how the accident occurred. Police in Paralimni are continuing to investigate the circumstances of his death.
For now, the clearest facts are also the saddest ones: a 22-year-old man traveled to Cyprus and never made it home.
Staudt’s online presence had made him recognizable to thousands of people, but behind the Noah Segsy persona was also a son, friend and young man whose life ended unexpectedly.
His friends are now trying to bring him back to Germany and give his family the chance to say goodbye.
Staudt’s death has left friends, family and followers mourning a life that ended far too soon. Whatever name people knew him by, Noah Segsy or Riccardo Staudt, he was more than the online persona. May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find some comfort as they navigate an unimaginable loss.
