'No Foul Play': Canada Police On Indian-Origin Woman's Death Inside Walmart Oven

Ottawa: The Canadian police on Monday concluded its investigation into the death of the Indian-origin woman named Gursimran Kaur was found dead inside a walk-in oven in Walmart, saying that it found "no evidence of foul play."

In an official statement, the Halifax police officials said that the probe determined the death was "not suspicious."

Martin Cromwell, the Public Information Officer of the Halifax Regional Police, said, "We understand that there have been many questions about what happened. Thorough investigations take time."

"As a part of the investigation, we conducted several interviews and reviewed video footage. I can share that our investigation has not led us to suspect foul play. We do not believe anyone else was involved. We acknowledge the public's interest in this case, and that there are questions that can never be answered," he added.

The 19-year-old woman was found dead on October 19 in one of the superstore's appliances in Halifax. According to media reports, she was found charred to death by her mother, who also worked at the store for the last two years.

After her death, the superstore's employees suggested that her Kaur was locked in a walk-in oven and "baked to death".

Kaur's co-worker Chris Breezie in a TikTok video said that the oven she used while working at the store turned on from the outside and that the door handle was "really hard" to open.

"I don't even know if I would fit in here," she said adding that she was 5 foot 1, while showing how the oven at Walmart works. "I would have to crouch down to get in."

"There is no way possible somebody could lock themselves in there," she said in the video.

Meanwhile, another employee said, "It's designed not to do that. You have to push it, hear the click," she said.

"I'm not trying to theorize or form a conspiracy, it's just hard to wrap my head around it when Walmart's bakery ovens are so safe to use," she added.
