A Sikh organization has identified the 19-year-old woman who died in a Walmart bakery oven and says her mother — a co-worker at the store — was the one who discovered the body.
A Walmart remains closed as a vigil grows outside the taped-off area in Halifax on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 following the death of a 19-year-old employee last weekend. The Maritime Sikh Society has named a 19-year-old woman who died in a Walmart bakery's walk-in oven and says the mother — a co-worker at the store — was the one who led a search for her and discovered her body.
The Maritime Sikh Society has identified the victim as Gursimran Kaur, a Sikh woman originally from India who had immigrated to Canada with her mother a couple of years ago. The GoFundMe page, which had raised more than $80,000 as of 11 a.m., says the mother became frantic after her daughter stopped answering her phone during the Saturday night shift.
