(NewsNation) — The man found dead in a pool of blood at the Burning Man festival in Nevada has been identified.
The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office named the victim as 37-year-old Vadim Kruglov of Russia. He was living in Tacoma, Washington, before his death, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.
Kruglov’s body was found at the festival on Aug. 30. Police identified him using his fingerprints after asking the public for help in figuring out who he was.
His death is being investigated as a homicide and no arrests have been made.
“Our hearts go out to Vadim’s family and friends and we grieve the loss of a community member,” Burning Man said in a statement.
“Burning Man Project is doing everything we can to assist the sheriff’s investigation so the perpetrator can be caught and brought to justice. This includes our intent for a coordinated donation to the Secret Witness program, which offers rewards for more information that contributes to law enforcement’s investigation.”
The Pershing County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information about Kruglov or his death to call the sheriff’s office.
Kruglov’s death isn’t the first tragedy at the festival. Last year, Kendra Frazer died after emergency services personnel responded to a report of an unresponsive individual.
