Nevada law enforcement is seeking public assistance to identify a man found dead at the Burning Man festival. The decedent is described as a white male adult between 35 and 40, approximately 6 feet tall, 200 lbs, with short brown hair and facial hair. The body was discovered in the futurist encampment of Black Rock City as the festival reached its climax. Investigators seek information from anyone who heard or saw anything between 8 and 9:30pm and any suspect identifiers. Organizers are cooperating with law enforcement, and part of the site was cordoned off while officers interviewed nearby participants and launched a murder investigation.
Pershing county sheriff Jerry Allen asked for assistance to identify the man, who was found dead in the futurist encampment of Black Rock City as the festival reaching its climax when an effigy the eponymous burning man was set alight. We are specifically looking to identify the white male adult decedent who is between the ages of 35 and 40, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 lbs, with short brown hair and facial hair, Allen said in a statement reported by the Reno Gazette Journal.
A murder investigation was launched on Sunday after a man was found lying in a pool of blood on Saturday night, police said. That came after a festival-goer alerted a police officer that a man was found lying on the ground, obviously deceased. Part of the site was cordoned off as on-site police began investigating. Organizers with the Burning Man Project said it was cooperating with law enforcement.
