What Happened To Gursimran Kaur?
19-year-old Indian-origin Gursimran Kaur was found dead inside the walk-in bakery oven at a Walmart store in Halifax, Canada.
As per CTV news, Kaur's death occurred ahead of the remodel which focused on removing the walk-in oven. A company spokesperson told the Canadian daily that the oven's removal had been planned in the store remodel.
"This is an extremely sad and difficult situation,” Walmart spokesperson Amanda Moss told CTV News, adding that “removing the oven had always been part of the standard remodel program we are implementing across the country.”
Kaur's body was found by her mother in October 2024. The mother repeatedly tried to locate her daughter after she discovered her phone had been switched off.
As per a report by The Sun, Kaur had opened the oven after someone at the store pointed out leaks coming from the device.
Kaur's death sparked conspiracy as many employees alleged that her death may have been foul play. However, police officials have now ruled out any such instance.
