Every year, during the summer months of August and September, droves of people leave their urban settlements and travel to a transient tent city at the playa of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for a week of festivities. Music, dancing and art are the main activities at the Burning Man Festival, with people spreading good vibes and love during the annual event. In 2017, Aaron Joel Mitchell, one of the attendees, ran into the burning structure, ultimately leading to his death. The toxicology report by authorities revealed that Mitchell was clear from any alcohol or drugs, leaving the reason for his deadly stunt a complete mystery.
