Family of Walmart employee found dead in bakery oven offered support by Nova Scotia Sikh Society

The president of Canada’s Maritime Sikh Society has spoken out following news of the death of an Indian woman at a Halifax Walmart last week.

“The community has been shocked by the whole incident,” Harjit Seyan told Global News. “The immediate family is absolutely shocked. They are in a kind of a trauma. We are really sorry to hear of such a tragic event,” he added.

Seyan says members of the Sikh Society sprung into action upon hearing the news, offering comfort, hot meals, and to set up a fundraiser for the woman’s immediate family.

Halifax police confirmed on Tuesday that the 19-year-old employee was found dead inside of the Walmart’s walk-in bakery oven. According to authorities, the victim — who recently moved to Canada from India — was found Saturday night and an investigation of the “complex” incident is ongoing.
