Walmart worker found by her mother ‘burned to death’ inside walk-in oven at store
The supermarket giant said it was “heartbroken and our deepest thoughts are with our associate and their family”.
A Walmart employee who “burned to death” in a Canadian store’s walk-in oven is said to have been discovered by her mother.
Gursimran Kaur, 19, was found dead at a branch in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 19 October.
A GoFundMe appeal to support her family said Ms Kaur’s mother, who also worked at the store, had tried to find her after being unable to get through on the phone.
It said other staff had presumed she was helping a customer but that her mother found her “charred remains” a few hours later inside the oven.
“Imagine the horror that her mother experienced when she opened the oven,” said the fundraising page, organised by a local Sikh society.
