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.
Summary
Police have ruled out foul play in the death of Gursimran Kaur, a 19-year-old Walmart employee found dead in a walk-in bakery oven at a Halifax, Canada, store on October 19.
After interviews, video reviews, and collaboration with labor and medical officials, investigators concluded no one else was involved.
Kaur’s mother, also a Walmart employee, discovered her daughter after a frantic search.
The store remains closed, and the oven is being removed. Workplace safety officials are now leading the investigation.
You're viewing a single thread.
The article is written in such a vague and non committal kind of way that it comes across like it was a suicide or something. Way too passive language
I don't know about suicide, but there's this curious bit:
The Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration also said it issued a stop-work order on Oct. 22 for the Walmart’s bakery and a piece of equipment at the store. The order was lifted on Oct. 28 “after the oven was assessed and determined to have been operating as per the manufacturer’s requirements.”
From previous threads it sounds like these things all have escape mechanisms on the inside, and that would seem to include it. Maybe she had an unrelated medical problem at the worst possible time?
That seems like a horrendous way to commit suicide.
Yeah, that's about as hardcore as you get. Usually they're protesting something when they go for a really painful way, though, and it sounds like she was alone.
Maybe if you intentionally ODed on enough drugs to keep yourself completely out, regardless of pain, and were just using the oven to ensure that the job gets done. Even so.
Ah, the Hitler method of suicide. Yeah, that could be.
Edit: Why are you booing me, I'm right!
Hitler took the Luger express on the way out dummy.
But set fire to his bunk first, to finish the job...
This statement from police also kinda sounds like suicide:

In a Monday update, Halifax Regional Police (HRP) said investigators had met with the family to share the findings, and that the family has asked for privacy.
A police spokesperson declined an on-camera interview on Monday but in a video statement, Const. Martin Cromwell said while the department understands the public’s interest in the case, “there are questions that may never have answers.”
Cromwell also reminded people to be “mindful of the damage public speculation can cause.”
“This woman’s loved ones are grieving,” he said.
I don't know what Canadian police are like but in the US they often call things suicide just to close cases. I never trust it.
Well, Halifax caps have their issues but they aren't cartoonishly corrupt.
That's good to hear
