"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."
Pershing County Sheriff Jerry Allen said in a statement that Sunday's death will remain under investigation until a cause and manner can be determined, which will be updated at the conclusion of an autopsy.
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.
