Man found dead at Burning Man, cause under investigation, sheriff says
A person has died at Burning Man, according to Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen. Allen told the Reno Gazette Journal on Friday that a man was found dead at around 6:30 p.m. He was found unresponsive and could not be revived by medical personnel in Black Rock City. "Foul play is not suspected at this point, but we won't know 100% until an autopsy," Allen told the RGJ. Allen said no cause of death has been determined pending the results of an autopsy by the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office. The man's identity is not being released until family members are notified.
