The website of the festival states that the emergency services team found 39-year-old Kendra Frazer, identified by the Pershing County Sheriff's Office, unresponsive at almost 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, the first day of Burning Man's weeklong event schedule.

Although they tried a lot to save the woman's life, the rescuers were finally not successful. Sheriff's authorities ruled her dead upon their arrival at the site.

The territory of Pershing County Sheriff Allen is mostly 45 miles from the isolated Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where Burning Man is hosted.
