Canada police on Monday said there was "no evidence of foul play" in the death of Indian-origin woman Gursimran Kaur, who was found dead inside a walk-in oven of the Walmart store's bakery department last month. The Halifax Police have concluded the probe and in an official statement, said the investigation determined the death was "not suspicious" and there was "no evidence of foul play".
In a tragic incident, a 19-year-old Sikh woman was discovered dead inside a walk-in oven in the bakery department of a Walmart store in Halifax, Canada, police said last month. The charred body was found by her mother, who also worked at the store for the last two years.
"We understand that there have been many questions about what happened. Thorough investigations take time," Martin Cromwell, the Public Information Officer of the Halifax Regional Police, said.
"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.
Last month, the Halifax police said the investigation was "complex" and involved several partner agencies.
After her death, Walmart employees suggested that Kaur was locked in a walk-in oven and "baked to death".
A TikTok video by Chris Breezie, a co-worker, went viral last month, in which she said that the
oven she used while working at Walmart turned on from the outside and that the door handle was "really hard" to open.
