Post# of 51169
His common sense was affected by something.
You think
His eyes probably clamped shut ( the body's natural instinct? )
and he blindly stumbled & tripped over some debris.
pagan hip hop luv gesture goof ball shit.
Rescuers had to leave him to allow the structure to fall and provide for rescuer safety before they could go back into the flames to extract Aaron from the debris,” the PCSO said in a statement.
Rescuers were eventually able to pull Mitchell out of the fire and he was airlifted to the nearest burn center, located at the University of California at Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Calif., reported CNN. He was pronounced dead hours later.
The PCSO said no alcohol was in his system. A toxicology test for other substances is pending.
“We’re aware this incident has affected not only those who responded immediately on the scene, but also those who witnessed it, and our Black Rock City community more broadly,” the Burning Man organization said in a statement. “We are working to make resources available to those affected.”
Mitchell was a U.S. citizen from Oklahoma but was currently living in Switzerland. His mother, Johnnye Mitchell, said he was in “great spirits” when she saw him last month.
“He was loving and a nice person,” she said. “Joel liked hiking and outdoors, running.”
“You just never want something like this to happen,” said his father, Donald Mitchell.
