If self harm, how did she shut the door from the inside?“Police have yet to identify Kaur as the victim.[…]
…the oven was assessed and determined to have been operating as per the manufacturer's requirements.”
Update in Walmart worker's death in store oven leaves questions unanswered
Police say the death of 19-year-old Walmart employee Gursimran Kaur, who was burned in a walk-in bakery oven, is not suspicious.www.newsweek.com
This makes me lean more towards self-harm.

I don’t know the model of the oven, but if it had an inner safety release she could have closed it with that.
I also don’t know what the manner of death was, only that the Canadian press and police normally don’t release the names and manner of death of people who have completed suicide.

How is it possible they "may never have answers" when there's cameras ALL OVER Walmart? And have you all seen the videos online of people who work there showing how difficult it'd be to lock yourself in those ovens? It's next to impossible. Something real weird happened here. The official narrative is hard to believe‘Police conducted several interviews, reviewed video footage and worked closely with investigators at Nova Scotia’s Department of Labour and the Medical Examiners Service, he said.’
Young woman who died in Halifax Walmart oven was not murdered, police say
The body of 19-year-old Gursimran Kaur was discovered Oct. 19 by her mother, who also worked at the same Mumford Road Walmart in Halifax.nationalpost.com
The article says they believe no one else is involved and they may never have answers.

We don’t know what they saw on the footage. And we don’t know which answers they were unable to determine. One of which may have be ‘why?’.

I would assume that they could definitely determine, who, what and how, if not why.., accidental death by commercial oven in Walmart is just over the top for not very likely… moo

She didn't end her own life by just turning on the oven. That would be impossible, as she would have been 100% compelled to push the safety release at some point. There had to be at least one other factor at play, such as a malfunction (of the door or latch) or something led to her losing consciousness first. I hope her family has been given more answers than the public. My opinions only.

Originally they said it was a very complex investigation… hopefully the family at least got some answers… moo
The oven passed inspection of all functions after the death.
So it wasn’t faulty in any way.
Some sort of medical issue such as Sudden Cardiac Death rendered her unconscious. IMO

I thought I read that the family hired a lawyer after being given the info they were given by police. I might be paraphrasing but that is the general gist.

Had to go through a few articles and only CTV had it of the ones i looked through.

Rather odd that her mother was looking for her because she didn’t see her for one hour….were they working in the same department? Odd that Kaur’s phone was turned off as well. And, according to her mother it was “unusual” for Kaur to turn off her phone. IMO, possibly suicide but we may never know.
Death of 19-year-old employee found in Walmart walk-in oven was not foul play, police say
“We do not believe anyone else was involved in the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death,” a Halifax Regional Police spokesperson said.www.nbcnews.com
If this article doesn’t answer your question could you be more specific?
The organization said Kaur was discovered by her mother, who also worked at the store…
The evening of Oct. 19, Kaur’s mother tried to find her after not having seen her for an hour.
“Imagine the horror that her mother experienced when she opened the oven, when someone pointed it out to her!”
Something else I’ve read a couple times and I found again in this article. Simran had turned off her phone at some point -
“Mother started panicking as it was unusual for her to switch her phone off during the day,”
In Canada, police reports to the public often do not mention suicide if suicide is the reason for the death.

Something compelled her mother to look in the oven. As mentioned, I would look in the several areas I posted upthread. The oven would be the last place I would look.
<modsnip: There is no MSM or other approved source to indicate Gursimran was depressed.>
She became rather concerned after not seeing her for an hour and calling her phone repeatedly. I don’t think I would be panicking if it was an hour. Two or three maybe because that would be odd for an employee not to log back in. Her mother would know if she was irresponsible in her work ethic. So she probably knew that her daughter was responsible and wouldn’t be skipping out on hours.
Assuming that she knew that it was out of character for her daughter to screw up, that would cause her mother to be very anxious about something being seriously wrong.
They said there isn’t any foul play, as in homicide; it would make sense that it was self induced.
Just thinking…

Does not have to mean self induced. MOD also includes natural causes and accident/misadventure
I'm leaning toward workplace accident due to the Department of Labour having taken over the investigation
from: Halifax police say Walmart employee's death isn't suspicious, refuse to release details
Now that police have ruled out criminality, the labour department says it has assumed the lead in the ongoing workplace investigation.
In a statement, the department says it remains an active investigation, but it is unable to provide further details at this time.
"Workplace investigations are complex and take time," said Sarah MacNeil, a spokesperson for the department in an email to CTV News.
The department did say the oven was "assessed and determined to have been operating as per the manufacturer's requirements."
Then from: https://surge105.ca/2024/11/18/police-walmart-death-in-bakery-oven-not-suspicious/
“The store has been undergoing renovations for several months as part of our standard remodel program. Out of respect, we paused construction immediately after this tragic event. While the store remains closed, we will resume work on these previously-planned renovations,” explained Moss. “At this time, we don’t have a confirmed timeline for completion. Our store remains closed until further notice.”

Just speculating, but as the store had been undergoing renos, I'm wondering if there was possibly some electrical type of work that could have resulted in a malfunction, and a malfunction could have caused some normal safety features of the oven to be inoperative.
