According to the Sheriff’s Office of Pershing, the investigation into the murder has shocked the recent days Burning Man after finding a dead man “lying in a pool of blood” at the Nevada desert festival. According to New York TimesThe gloomy discovery took place around 21:14, when the cult picket image of the festival began traditional burn.
The victim, described as a white adult man, whose identity stays unknown, was found by a festival participant who marked the deputy. Sheriff Jerry Allen confirmed that the deputies, Bureau of Land Management Rangers and local guards, immediately secured the circuit, while the team of criminals Sheriff Washoe gathered evidence.
The murder appears when Burning Man has way back evolved from a countercultural meeting at the network center for the technological elite of Silicon Valley. Elon Musk, director of Tesla, once said that “Burning Man is a silicon Valley” and Mark Zuckerberg was famous for the helicopter Serve sandwiches with grilled cheese. Jeff Bezos from Amazon also created a desert pilgrimage.
But perhaps no technology leader has deeper connections with the festival than the founders of Google Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who had been given to participants for years. Their combination is supposedly working so deeply that long before Google Dododles became known for celebrating holidays, the first Google Doodle was launched on August 30, 1998 to tell users that Page and Brin are outside the Burning Man office.
This investigation into the murder is the latest series of strange incidents at the festival due to 38-year history. In 2017, the man died after rushing on the burning image, while death due to motorcycle accidents and vehicle accidents took place since the Nineties. In one other strange accent last week a child named Aurora was born at a festival for parents who had I have no concept that they expected.
The investigation faces exceptional challenges, because Sheriff Allen noticed that “a complicated investigation into a city crime that would disappear in the middle of the week.” After the festival, 70,000 participants on Monday and traditional Exodus, the authorities can face the pressure to expand the schedule or limit their departure to keep the crime scene and interview.
“Although this act seems to be a single crime, all participants should always be vigilant to their surroundings and friends,” warned Sheriff’s office, when the temporary desert metropolis is preparing for the annual disassembly.
