Halifax Walmart Oven Death: Mother Challenges Findings After Regulator Clears Store

She questions how her 19-year-old daughter died following official findings that cleared Walmart.

Overview

  • Mandip Kaur says she found her daughter, Gursimran Kaur, 19, inside a walk-in bakery oven at the Halifax store on October 19, 2024.
  • Halifax Regional Police initially opened a homicide investigation, then one month later determined the death was not suspicious.
  • Nova Scotia’s labour department said last month it found no workplace safety violations and that the oven could be opened from the inside.
  • Walmart closed the store for about four months, later relocating the bakery and replacing ovens while providing support to employees.
  • The family rejects any suggestion of suicide, reports no clear answers after roughly 18 months, and the mother says she is considering legal action.
