The death toll for this year’s Burning Man has risen to three. The first death was confirmed on Friday (Sept. 4) after Sampson Tshombe, who was in his mid-50s, suffered a medical emergency. The second was confirmed on Saturday (Sept. 5) when Craigh Mann, 60, was found dead in his camp. On Monday (Sept. 7), the final day of the festival, a third death was confirmed.
According to TMZ, the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the news. Authorities said the attendee died while on the way to a hospital in Reno. No further information is available at this time.
Meanwhile, Diplo, who did five sets at the festival, posted videos claiming he walked 15 miles through the desert to leave Burning Man. In one video, his friend says the walk was 39 minutes, and Diplo counters that it was more like two hours, which still isn’t humanly possible for a walk.
Speaking of annoying DJs, John Summit also wants you to stop hating on Burning Man: “coming back from burning man & seeing all these haters online who didn’t even go while everyone i met there was positive, present, loving & full of life just shows how much the internet isn’t a real place,” he wrote on X.
