The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was flagged down at the campsite in Black Rock City at about 9.14pm, where a male was found to be lying on the ground, “obviously deceased,” a statement reads.
Forensics specialists have been called in to help with the collection of evidence and processing the scene in the Nevada desert. Officers, at this stage, are treating the death as a homicide.
Although this act appears to be a singular crime, all participants “should always be vigilant of their surroundings and acquaintances,” reads a statement signed by Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen on Sunday, Aug. 31.
The identity of the man hasn’t been released and no further information will be available at this time, the message continues, “but it will be released as appropriate to provide communication, while still preserving the integrity of the complicated investigation of a crime in a city which will be gone by the middle of the week.”
Burning Man organizers said they are cooperating with law enforcement officials during the investigation.
