It can't be confirmed at this time, but a New Zealand man by the name of Shane Billingham posted in recent weeks to Facebook about heading to Burning Man.
One of Mr Billingham's pals, Steve MacWithey, informed the Reno Gazette Journal he used to be "one of the best people I've ever known".
Burning Man is a week-long counterculture festival in a temporary city erected in the desert about 100 miles north of Reno.
Billingham's friends who attended the festival alongside him remembered the partygoer as loving and happy.
