Officials investigating the death of a woman at the first day of Burning Man festival
 [10 News] Good Times. Good. Times. Ensured with the first sacrificeThe Burning Man Project's emergency services personnel were unsuccessful in attempting lifesaving measures on the woman. Authorities said Monday that they are investigating the death of a woman at the counterculture festival known as Burning Man, which is held annually in the northern Nevada desert. The Pershing County Sheriff's Office said emergency personnel responded to a call about a woman found unresponsive around noon Sunday in Black Rock City — a temporary city erected for the festival, about 100 miles north of Reno. The Burning Man Project's emergency services personnel were unsuccessful in attempting lifesaving measures on the woman. "Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this loss," festival organizers said in a statement. "We are cooperating fully with local authorities as they investigate this incident." About a half-dozen other deaths have been reported at the festival since it moved from Baker Beach in San Francisco to the Black Rock desert in 1990. Last year, a 32-year-old California man died from suspected drug intoxication after being found unresponsive on the festival grounds.
