Burning Man Murder Mystery: Victim Identified – Throat Slashed with Knife – Police Still Looking For Suspect

September 7, 2025

Burning Man 2025 was marred by monsoonal storms, windstorms and a grisly murder.

A homicide investigation is underway after a man was found dead in a pool of blood at Burning Man last Saturday night.

Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery.

Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City. Attendees engage in sexually degenerate activities such as “whippings by a dominatrix priestess,” “circle jerks,” “c*ck fights” and orgies.

The man murdered at Burning Man this year was identified as a 37-year-old Russian man named Vadim Kruglov. His throat was slashed by a large blade. The suspect is still at large.

TMZ reported:

The dead guy found at this year’s Burning Man had a large wound to his throat … the slash was from a knife, and the blade was recovered at the scene.

Our sources tell us the knife is being forensically examined … and law enforcement is also going through a phone that was found near the body.

We’re told Vadim Kruglov’s dead body was found inside a tent pavilion structure near a makeshift bar Saturday night … lying in a pool of blood.

Because the death was ruled a homicide, our sources say police got a warrant before entering the tent pavilion … there was a chance the area could be deemed a dwelling, and cops felt it prudent to err on the side of caution, at least from a legal standpoint.

Last week a wicked dust storm kicked up on the first day of the festival this year and it ruined camp sites. Winds reached more than 45 miles per hour, according to a spokesperson for Burning Man.

The Orgy Dome was also completely destroyed by the windstorm.

Video posted to X shows camp sites being blown away by the strong winds.

WATCH:

Just one day after the windstorm, a monsoonal thunderstorm moved over the playa.

Burning man turned into a muddy hellhole.
