The 19-year-old Walmart employee who was found dead in the store’s walk-in oven in Canada was discovered by her mother, who also worked there, according to a community fundraiser for the family.

The teen was identified as Gursimran Kaur, according to a fundraiser organized by the Maritime Sikh Society in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on behalf of the family. “On Oct. 19th, the fateful Saturday night, she was found burned to death in the walk-in oven at Walmart bakery,” the fundraiser said.

Halifax Regional Police said they were called to the Walmart at 6990 Mumford Rd. at 9:30 p.m. and found the young woman's body in a “large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department.” Kaur and her mother had worked at the Walmart for two years, according to the fundraiser.

That evening, Kaur’s mother tried to find her after not seeing her for one hour. She asked around and tried to call her to no avail. “Mother started panicking as it was unusual for [Kaur] to switch her phone off during the day,” the fundraiser said. “Imagine the horror that her mother experienced who herself opened the oven.”
