The Nevada desert festival Burning Man, famous for creative chaos and overpriced coffee, turned into a crime scene on a Saturday night when a man was found 'lying in a pool of blood' around 9:14 p.m., according to the Pershing County Sheriff. This chilling finale apparently wasn’t part of any theme camp’s art project or weird mutant vehicle mishap. While attendees hoped for deep deserts and deeper philosophies, they got deep red instead. The New York Times broke the news, reminding us that even a place known for burning giant wooden effigies can burn out human dignity.
