Mom of teen who baked to death in Walmart oven describes sick scene
Share this @internewscast.com

A grieving mother has shared the devastating details surrounding her daughter’s tragic death inside a Walmart oven, a tragedy that left the teen unidentifiable.

Mandip Kaur, who was employed at the Halifax, Nova Scotia, location alongside her daughter, Gursimran, made the shocking discovery on October 19, 2024. She went searching for the 19-year-old during her shift in the store’s bakery when she couldn’t reach her, according to reports by the Daily Mail.

“I opened the door and there she was,” Mandip recounted earlier this week, her voice heavy with sorrow.

“I was overwhelmed. I stayed on the floor with her for what felt like an eternity, not understanding what had transpired,” she shared.

Mandip described a black-brown substance, reminiscent of tar, seeping from the walk-in commercial oven, which can heat up to 400 degrees and is typically used for baking frozen bread.

The heart-wrenching incident left her daughter’s body, located next to the baking racks, burned beyond recognition. The liquid was revealed to be from the young victim’s body, according to the outlet.

The Halifax Walmart closed for four months after Gursirman’s horrific death — and floral tributes for Gursimran were tied to a lamp post outside the superstore.

The in-store bakery was moved to another section of the Walmart after the store reopened.

The bakery ovens were replaced and the only current visible ovens in-store are smaller models that employees cannot walk inside of — though it is unclear if there is a larger, walk-in oven out of customers’ sight, the outlet reported.

Halifax Police Department initially investigated Gursimran’s death as a possible homicide, but a month later cops determined her death was not suspicious, The Post previously reported.

Just last month, however, Nova Scotia’s Department of Labor, Skills and Immigration determined there were no workplace safety violations in relation to Gursimran’s death — and found that the oven that she was baked alive in was in good working condition, the Daily Mail reported. 

The Department of Labor cleared Walmart of any wrongdoing in relation to the teen’s tragic death. 

Greg Hanna, Director of Communications for the Department of Labor, told the outlet that the Walmart oven that Gursimran died in “could be opened from the inside,” and noted there was no evidence found of “violations of occupational health and safety laws [that] contributed to the death.”

The findings of Halifax Police and the Department of Labor have raised questions whether the teen decided to take her own life. 

The distraught mother vehemently disputes any suggestion of suicide — telling the outlet that Gursimran was happy, loved her family and was a dedicated student, who was valedictorian of her class with plans to study medicine at university to become a doctor.

Mandip recalled that they had spent the night before she died with her daughter, laughing and celebrating with loved ones.

“Does she look depressed? She was so happy,” Mandip said.

After her death, the heartbroken mother received a package her daughter had ordered for herself, further suggesting she had no plans to take her own life, the outlet reported.

Mandip described Gursiram as a typical teenager who loved music, makeup and shopping for clothes who got on well with her parents and had a close bond with her 12-year-old brother.

Lack of definitive answers surrounding her daughter’s death has added to the tight-knit family’s agony, Mandip said.

“After 18 months [of] investigation they are unable to discover what happened,” Mandip said. “They couldn’t find any solid thing. They don’t know. They don’t have any proof. No solid results.”

“We are not satisfied,” the grieving mother said.
