Authorities in Nevada were investigating a death at the site of the Burning Man festival where thousands of attendees remained stranded as flooding from storms swept through the Nevada desert.
The annual gathering, which launched on a San Francisco beach in 1986, attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. Disruptions are part of the event’s recent history: Dust storms forced organizers to temporarily close entrances to the festival in 2018, and the event was twice canceled altogether during the pandemic.
