No Evidence of Foul Play in Death of Indian-Origin Woman Found in Oven in Canada

November 19 :
Authorities in Canada have wrapped up their probe into the grisly murder of Gursimran Kaur, a lady of Indian descent who was discovered lifeless in a walk-in oven at a Walmart bakery in Halifax on October 19th. According to a news release from the Halifax Regional Police on November 18th, the death was ruled as "not suspicious" and the detectives revealed "no evidence of foul play."

Many people have wondered what happened, and we get that. Martin Cromwell, the Halifax police department's public information officer, stated that inquiries of this nature take time. The inquiry included reviewing camera footage and conducting multiple interviews. Truthfully, I can say that so far, our investigation has not uncovered any evidence of foul play. In our opinion, no one else was involved either. A lot of people are curious about this case, and we understand that. Some questions will never have their answers, he said.

Her mother found Gursimran Kaur in the bakery area of Walmart, where the two of them had worked together for two years. It was initially reported that she was discovered dead in the superstore's walk-in oven, specifically burned. Factoring into the tragedy was her family situation—her brother and father are still in India, and her mother worked at Walmart.

Employees at Walmart and social media users alike questioned the circumstances surrounding Kaur's death, which led to the case gaining significant attention. An previous press release from Halifax police characterized the probe as "complex," citing the involvement of numerous cooperative organizations. Many issues remain unanswered despite the official conclusion ruling out foul play; both personnel and the public are attempting to make sense of the tragedy in light of the equipment's safety features.

More openness in reviewing incidents like this has been demanded in response to the incident, which has ignited conversations around worker safety. As of this writing, Walmart has not commented officially on the results.
