A man was found dead Saturday in a suspected homicide at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.
The man, described as a white adult man, was found “lying on the ground” and deceased after 9 p.m. on Saturday, the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday.
The discovery was made while the “Man,” a large human-shaped wooden sculpture at the center of the festival, was engulfed in flames. A participant flagged down a sheriff’s deputy and reported seeing “a male subject lying in a pool of blood,” in Black Rock City, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies, along with Bureau Land Management Rangers and Burning Man Project Black Rock Rangers, created a perimeter around the area and interviewed participants.
Officials said the identity of the man is unknown, and the body has been transported to the Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“Although this act appears to be a singular crime, all participants should always be vigilant of their surroundings and acquaintances,” the sheriff’s office said.
Law enforcement is preserving the crime scene, noting the case is a “complicated investigation” as the makeshift city will be gone by the middle of the week. The annual festival kicked off Aug. 24 and ends Monday.
Anyone with information regarding the homicide is asked to contact the sheriff’s office.
Burning Man said in a statement it is cooperating with law enforcement.
“If you are in Black Rock City, do not interfere with law enforcement activity,” the festival said. “The safety and well-being of our community are paramount.”
The festival said Black Rock Rangers can offer peer support services at the Ranger Headquarters and Outposts, and Black Rock City’s Emergency Services Department’s Crisis Support team is available 24/7 at stations.

I’m guessing he’s a human sacrifice to their Satanic god.
Dead body in the Nevada desert! Wonder what he did to tick off the Mafia who own the casinos?

Excellent essay and journal of repentance by RFK Jr.’s running mate.
MAKE TIME TO READ!
Linked article at The Blaze is definitely Friday-worthy!
Did his face have multiple bee stings?
I’m sorta surprised this doesn’t happen more often out there. The most spectacular death was the man who entered the conflagration willfully.
Peace and love man.
I got to paragraph 4, and pay-for-view kicked-in.
Only 20,000 suspects.
For what is really a big “Hippie”
orgy party, I’m not surprised.
Sex and drugs don’t bother me,
It is the message it sends to all
our kids or in my case grand-kids
and great grand-kids.
that does.
Most likely.
I read that. It’s an eye opener.
If it’s not demonic it’s certainly neo pagan.
CC
Really effed up place.
It is demonic.
A dude ran into the fire and died a few years back.
Not the only death, just one of the most gruesome.
Not a good place.
The guy that ran into the fire?
Robbery is my guess.
Yeah.
Ends Monday? The "festival" should've been shut down immediately. In my old neighborhood, a murder was committed, and we all had to stay put in our homes while police investigated. No one was allowed to leave until police said so.
