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.

      This sort of thing:

      1000007102

      There is still no valid reason to EVER step inside the thing itself, though, so it’s still kinda sketchy.

        yeah, but think of how stupid the average person is and remember that 50% of the population is more stupid than that.

      How do you think grocery stores bake all that food every day?

      Wal Mart is a major grocery outlet here in Canada. In Halifax the options are limited since Sobey’s has a chokehold on the market there.

        By using multi-shelved ovens that aren’t walk-ins? It’s not like everything in the bakery is cooked at the same temperature.

        Or how about at automated bakery warehouses where they ship finished goods to various stores like a lot of other places do?

          And when you want to bake batches bigger than a few shelf units, what then?

          And what do you think factory bakeries use to bake their goods en masse?

        Maybe we’re eating too much bread?
