An event so large the statistics of human behavior on dopamine results in a murder.

No reason yet to think it was a murder. There have been some past deaths at burning man (natural causes, car accidents etc) but apparently no murders so far.
That said, that reddit thread makes Burning Man sound massively over the shark. Cool 30 years ago but completely crap now. I've never gone and am glad of that.

I mean the first line of the article.
> A murder investigation has been launched at the Burning Man festival in the US state of Nevada after a man was found "lying in a pool of blood" on Saturday night, police say.
I have no idea why the BBC editor decided to be really vague with the title. When talking about a music festival "a body found," murder is probably pretty down your list of what you would assume the cause is.

the fact they're writing an article about it at all leads me to assume murder or something of editorial interest
but i admit that's a pretty weak argument since content is content now-a-days and so perhaps i should really be assuming the opposite..
