Wonders what could have triggered this... Did he hear screaming?

What a horrific event, my heart goes out to the first responders, all those witnesses , and the family of this suicidal man.

It isn't the first time suicide has occurred at Burning Man, sadly.

Right, there is an extensive list of regular and odd fatalities.

You will have occasional tragedies and mishaps at any large gathering but the burning man list has some peculiar ones.

I just learned their policy is to get the casualties off site as quickly as possible, so death location is a medical center, not at the Burn. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
