“Authorities are asking the public for information about a homicide that happened on Saturday at Burning Man. The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help identifying the white man between the age of 35 and 40 who was found dead, lying in a ‘pool of blood,’ on Saturday evening. The man is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, with short brown hair and facial hair, the sheriff’s office said. He was found after an attendee flagged down a deputy from the sheriff’s office as the festival’s wooden effigy called the ‘Man’ began to burn. The sheriff’s office is also looking for information about a suspect who they said committed a ‘heinous crime against another human being.'” (09/01/25)
