A man has died at a Utah spin-off of the iconic Burning Man festival after appearing to run into a ceremonial bonfire on Saturday night.
The man who has not been identified was too fast for bystanders to stop as he sped into a burning 30-foot tall effigy built to represent a character from the book ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’
The apparent suicide at the Element 11 off-shoot of Burning Man in Tooele County happened around 11 pm after the art project was set on fire.
Not sure if drugs were involved, but that’s one of those things people go to the original Burning Man to do.
Sad, and horrible, but not a “Gun Death”, so not newsworthy.

We really need to look into the possibility of dropping a low yield nuclear warhead on Burning Man. The increase in the average level of the American intellect would be astounding!
There was also a woman who was struck by a bus and killed.
