Burning Man Attendee Found Dead at Campsite, Second Death at Festival
A second attendee, 60-year-old Craigh Mann, has died at this year's Burning Man festival in Nevada, found at his campsite. This follows another death earlier in the festival from a medical emergency, and comes a year after a homicide at the event. The cause of Mann's death is pending a medical examiner's report.

A second Burning Man attendee has died during this year’s festival ... and this time, the participant was found dead inside his own campsite.
