Authorities have officially identified the victim who tragically lost their life at the Burning Man festival in Nevada during a period of heavy rain, which left thousands of attendees stranded in thick mud for days.

The victim, Leon Reece, 32, was discovered unresponsive at approximately 6:24 p.m. local time amidst the rainfall, according to a statement by Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen. This information was reported by The Daily Beast, The New York Post, and The Reno Gazette-Journal.

Sheriff Allen’s statement described the situation: “Pershing County dispatch received a call regarding a male subject who was on the ground and unresponsive at the Burning Man Festival, and medical personnel were administering CPR to the male.”

Due to the unusual and severe rain event occurring at the Playa, access to the area and investigative efforts faced delays. Unfortunately, Reece had already been pronounced deceased by the time deputies from the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the scene, as reported by various outlets.

As of now, preliminary investigations, including witness interviews, have not determined the cause of Leon Reece’s passing, according to the sheriff. Weather conditions over the weekend do not appear to have directly contributed to his death. A toxicology report is currently underway to provide more insight into the tragic incident.
