() 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 Vadim Kruglov of Russia.

“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.”

Kruglov was found dead in a pool of blood at Burning Man on Aug. 30, prompting law enforcement to launch a homicide investigation. No arrests have been made yet.

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.
