Sikh woman found dead inside walk-in oven at Walmart store in Canada’s Halifax

A 19-year-old Sikh woman was found dead in a Walmart oven in Halifax.
Halifax Regional Police said in a press release that police were investigating the sudden death of a 19-year-old woman found at Walmart at 6990 Mumford Road on October 19.
The police informed that the woman, who was an employee of the store, was located in a large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department. 
Although police did not reveal the identity of the women, local Sikh organization and media said that the victim was a young Sikh woman from India who moved to Canada recently. A GoFundMe page has been created by Maritime Sikh Society to raise funds. The fundraiser identified the victim as Gursimran Kaur.
The GoFundMe page mentioned, “Kaur was only 19 years old, a young beautiful girl who came to Canada with big dreams. On Oct 19th, the fateful Saturday night, she was found burned to death in the walk-in oven at Walmart Bakery situated at Mumford Road, Halifax.
Gursimran and her mother both worked at Walmart for last two years. In that evening, like any watchful mother who breathes for her child’s happiness, Gursimran’s mother tried to locate her after not seeing for one hour. She asked around, but everyone brushed aside thinking that she may be somewhere helping a customer, Walmart is a superstore after all!. Her phone was not reachable.
Mother started panicking as it was unusual for her to switch her phone off during the day. She reached out to the onsite admin for help. As you all know now, her charred remains were found inside the walk in oven in the Bakery after a few hours
Imagine the horror that her mother experienced who herself opened the oven, when someone pointed out to the ‘leakage’ from it!”
Balbir Singh, the secretary of the Maritime Sikh Society, told the CBC that the society has been in touch with the mother of the 19-year-old victim and learned that the woman and her mother are originally from India and came to Canada two to three years ago.
He said the local Sikh community is deeply distressed by her death.
“It’s a really tragic incident and everybody is deeply hurt by this, and we are waiting for the police investigation to come out,” said Singh. “We would like to know what happened to this young woman.”
He added that psychological counselling is being provided to the mother and efforts are underway to bring other immediate family members from India. Singh said that once the body is released by the medical examiner, a religious service will be held in Halifax.
Singh said it will be up to police and occupational and health investigators to make clear to the public what occurred.
Social media posts about speculations of her death have been circulating. But police have asked general public to be mindful. “It is important to note that the investigation has not yet reached a point where the cause and manner of death have been confirmed. The investigation is complex and involves several partner agencies. An investigation of this nature may take a significant amount of time. We urge the public to be mindful of sharing speculative information on social media. Please be aware of the impacts that speculation could have on family, colleagues and loved ones of the woman.”
