According to the police, another festival visitor found the victim dead at 9:14 p.m. when the “Man” was lit according to the annual tradition. This was announced by the responsible Pershing County Sheriff’s Office on August 31. A policeman present hurriedly hurried and called support from his colleague: inside and a forensic team.
Who is the victim? Police puzzles about identity
“The identity of the dead is previously unknown and he was transported to the forensic medicine by Washoe County,” said Jerry Allen, Sheriff of Pershing County. Although it looks like a single act, he warned the festival goers for the remaining festival sequence. The “Burning Man” officially came to an end on September 2.
The investigation continues, and the law enforcement agencies monitored the “part of the city” in which the incident had occurred strictly until the crime scene was released, the Sheriff’s office said.
Sheriff urgently asks for information from festival guests
The Pershing County’s Sheriff office, meanwhile, asks for any information that could help with the investigation. It is particularly important to determine the identity of the deceased. He is described as a single white man between the ages of 35 and 40, about 1.80 m tall, 90 kg, with short brown hair and beard. “No information is too unimportant at this point, so please do not hesitate to contact my office,” said everyone.
Burning-Man organizers react with an urgent appeal
The organizers of the Burning Man Festival, however, asked their visitors: inside for the attention of police regulations. “Burning Man cooperates with the law enforcement authorities,” they said in a statement. “If you are in Black Rock City, please do not hinder the work of the law enforcement authorities. The security and well -being of our community have a top priority.”
70,000 people in the desert – that is behind the festival
Every year towards the end of August, tens of thousands of “Burners” are drawn to a remote desert area northeast of Reno, Nevada, to celebrate art, music and personal freedom for a week. Every year, estimated 70,000 people come together to the Labor Day during the week and build an entire city out of nowhere.
The highlight of the event is two large “burns” in the two nights in front of the laboratory day: the burning of a 30 -meter -high wooden figure, accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display, and then the burning of the temple.
