A Walmart employee who “burned to death” in a Canadian store’s walk-in oven is said to have been discovered by her mother.<\/p>\n

Gursimran Kaur, 19, was found dead at a branch in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 19 October.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe appeal to support her family said Ms Kaur’s mother, who also worked at the store, had tried to find her after being unable to get through on the phone.<\/p>\n

It said other staff had presumed she was helping a customer but that her mother found her “charred remains” a few hours later inside the oven.<\/p>\n

“Imagine the horror that her mother experienced when she opened the oven,” said the fundraising page, organised by a local Sikh society.<\/p>\n

Halifax Police confirmed a 19-year-old had been found inside a “large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department”.<\/p>\n

It called it a complex investigation, adding: “It is important to note that the investigation has not yet reached a point where the cause and manner of death have been confirmed.”<\/p>\n

More than C$192,000 (\u00a3106,000) has been raised for the family so far, far more than the C$50,000 target.<\/p>\n

The GoFundMe page said Ms Kaur was a “young beautiful girl who came to Canada<\/a><\/strong> with big dreams”.<\/p>\n

It said the money would help her father and brother travel from India and the rest would “directly benefit the bereaved family”.<\/p>\n

The store was closed after the death and a Walmart spokesperson said: “We are heartbroken and our deepest thoughts are with our associate and their family.<\/p>\n

“Our focus remains on taking care of our associates and making sure they have the support they need.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
