Officials have disclosed the causes of death for three festivalgoers at this year’s Burning Man event in Nevada, weeks after the annual gathering was rocked by multiple fatalities.
The causes of death ranged from cardiovascular disease to drug toxicity, according to local outlet KOLO 8 News, citing information from the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office.
Burning Man, held annually in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, ran from Aug. 30 through Sept. 7 this year, with all three deaths occurring during the festival.
