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.

We’re told the cell phone examination could take weeks … and at this point, no suspect or suspects have been identified.
Our sources say cops don’t have a motive yet either. It’s unclear what happened leading up to the incident, and it’s unclear if there’s surveillance video from the remote desert area in Nevada.
