The Burning Man festival began with a tragic incident as a female attendee, Kendra Frazer, was found dead just hours before the annual gathering commenced in Nevada. Despite efforts by emergency services, she could not be revived. The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an investigation into her death. The organizers have extended support and resources to the attendees, emphasizing the importance of safety and well-being. Last year, another attendee passed away due to drug toxicity. The event, expected to draw around 70,000 participants, was also marred by heavy rains causing an early closure. This year’s festival is scheduled to continue until September 2nd. (EW)
