Death of 19-year-old employee found in Walmart walk-in oven was not foul play, police say
“We do not believe anyone else was involved in the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death,” Martin Cromwell, public information officer for Halifax Regional Police, said Monday.
No foul play is suspected in the death of the 19-year-old Walmart employee whose body was found in the store’s walk-in oven in Canada last month, police said Monday.
Halifax Regional Police had responded on a report of a sudden death to the Walmart at 6990 Mumford Rd. the evening of Oct.19, and found the victim, Gursimran Kaur, deceased in “a large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department.”
The investigation has determined that her death was not suspicious and “there is no evidence of foul play,” police said in a news release Monday.
“We conducted several interviews, reviewed video footage, and worked very closely with our partners at Nova Scotia Department of Labor and medical examiner service,” Martin Cromwell, public information officer for Halifax Regional Police, said in a video statement. “We do not believe anyone else was involved in the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.”
Investigators met with the victim’s family to share the update and extend condolences, police said.
Cromwell said police expect this to be the final update on the case.
