Pirtle said the man was hanging for two hours before anyone in the large tent thought to bring him down.
"His friends thought he was doing an art piece," Pirtle said.</p> <P>A makeshift morgue is being set up at the law enforcement command center on the outskirts of Black Rock City.
Pirtle said authorities can not release information on the dead man's name until next of kin is notified.</P><P>The incident has gone unnoticed by most of the 36,000 revelers who have already arrived. The city's population is on pace to hit 46,000, Pirtle said, a fourteen percent increase from last year.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DFAF3704-8B99-4DBB-988D-4D120A49966F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
