The Canadian Walmart store where a teenage employee was killed in a walk-in oven in the oven has officially reopened more than three months after the tragedy.
The charred remains of Gursimran Kaur were found by her mother in the large -scale bakery oven of the Walmart where she worked in Halifax, Nova Scotia on 19 October.
The mother and her 19-year-old daughter had emigrated from India to Canada about three years ago and the duo soon started working in the store.
On October 19, her mother noticed that she had been missing in the workplace for more than an hour, with her phone unusually eliminated and unreachable. It was then that a colleague in the bakery section pointed a 'leak' from the walk -in oven.
By the time the care providers arrived on the spot, Kaur died in the industrial oven. Her mother found her charred remains.
The police excluded cheating in November, but the store was closed for renovations until 3 February.
“It's great to have our customers and our employees back in the store,” Nick Ritcey told CBC with the business affairs of Walmart Canada.
“It is clear that the tragedy is still ideas and it is something that will be sad forever.”

Ritcey said that the nearly 325 employees were paid while the store was closed and Walmart stays in contact with Kaur's family.
“Three months is still very recent for that size of a tragedy,” said Ritcey. “We continue to contact us and ensure that we work out the best possible situation with them.”
After the police had given the Halifax store the Clear to Ropen, Walmart confirmed that they would remove the walk-in oven from the building.
Walmart spokesperson Amanda Moss said to the National Post: 'This is an extremely sad and difficult situation.
'Removing the oven had always been part of the standard renovation program that we implement throughout the country.
“Now that the stop-work order has been lifted by the Ministry of Labor, the oven is being removed from this store and will no longer be used.”
The investigation into Kaur's death continues to be underway how the tragic event took place.
Disturbing revelations came to light during the investigation, because sources CBC said that the device in the Halifax store 'not locked'.
Although the exact brand of the oven involved in the incident has not yet been unveiled, it is known that other Walmart stores have ovens as shown installed
After Kaur's death, a series of tap videos circulates online with Walmart employees who demonstrate in other Walmart ovens and used the emergency release from the inside.
“This door does not close by itself … it doesn't hold. It is designed not to do that. You have to push it, hear the click, “said an employee in a video.
She later noticed that she was not trying to 'theoretize or form a conspiracy', but that the tragic situation 'was difficult to wrap my head around' when Walmart's bakery ovens are so safe to use. '
Both Kaur and her mother were members of the Maritime Sikh Society who sets up a GO financing to help me help the 'unimaginable and non -describing' mourning of the family.
The fundraising said that the father and brother of Kaur remained in India and that the money was used to bring them to Canada.
