A Walmart worker gives a chilling new take on how the 19-year-old employee baked to death in the stores walk-in oven.

Last weekend, Gursimran Kaurs charred remains were found inside the walk-in oven of the Walmart she worked at in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In a series of TikTok videos, current staff and former employees of various superstore locations have been sharing insights into the inner mechanics of working inside a Walmart bakery.

TikTok user Chris Breezie demonstrated how the oven at the Walmart she worked at turns on from the outside, and that the door handle has to be pulled really hard in order to open it.  

I dont even know if I would fit in here, she said. Im 5 foot 1, medium built. I would have to crouch down to get in.

A Walmart worker gives a chilling new theory on how the 19-year-old employee baked to death in the stores walk-in oven

Gursimran Kaur, 19, tragically died in the Halifax superstore she worked at in Nova Scotia on Saturday night

She pointed out that there was not an emergency latch from the inside of the oven, nor was there a task that required an employee to have to physically enter the oven. 

I would never be in here, whether Im cleaning it or not, she said.  

The employee showed that for the oven to close and lock, you have to push [the latch] with all your might and pull the handle to the side and lock it in place.

There is no way possible somebody could lock themselves in there, she said.

However, Breezie did not rule out the possibility of someone being shoved into the oven against their will. 

Now, somebody could throw me in there and lock me in there, but thats a whole different scenario, she said.

Another video by a Walmart employee named Mary echoed the same sentiments.

It doesnt make any sense. This door does not close by itself... It doesnt latch. Its designed not to do that. You have to push it, hear the click, said the Walmart worker.

Mary demonstrated stepping inside of the oven and utilizing the emergency release from the inside of the oven, showing that it is a simple push feature on the other side of the door.

Im not trying to theorize or form a conspiracy, its just hard to wrap my head around it when Walmarts bakery ovens are so safe to use, she said in a comment.

Her video has been viewed 3.6 million times and sparked an outpouring of responses from other Walmart employees across the nation, who agreed that the oven should not have been able to close easily.

Another bakery worker previously said that the interior safety release is metal, meaning it would get extremely hot when the oven was turned on.

Police are investigating Kaurs death, and the Walmart superstore remains closed more than a week on from the tragedy.

It is still unclear how Kaur became trapped inside the oven.

A dispatch call first reported by DailyMail.com early this week revealed that there was a female employee locked in an oven in the bakery.

Oven is on. Unsure if staff are able to turn it off, the dispatch officer warned.

Kaurs mother, who worked at Walmart alongside her daughter, made the distressing discovery after conducting a frantic search around the store for Kaur.

A colleague noted leakage coming from the walk-in oven.

Imagine the horror that her mother experienced - who herself opened the oven, a spokesperson for the family said in a GoFundMe appeal.

As you all know, her charred remains were found inside the walk-in oven in the bakery after a few hours.

Kaurs mother is reportedly traumatized by the discovery.

While the exact brand of the oven involved in the incident has not yet been revealed, other Walmart stores around the United States are known to have ovens like the one pictured installed

This familys sufferings are unimaginable and indescribable, the Maritime Sikh Society Executive said in the appeal.

Kaur has been remembered as a beautiful girl who came to Canada with big dreams.

Walmart officials said in a statement, We are heartbroken and our deepest thoughts are with our associate and their family. We extend our sincerest condolences to those who were closest to them.

Were also supporting our associates during this incredibly difficult time and have provided access to 24/7 virtual care and will provide on-site support, including grief counselling.
