A Walmart employee has given a new chilling explanation after her 19-year-old co-worker was “baked to death” in a walk-in oven. Last week, the remains of Gursimran Kaur — a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia — was found dead in one of the superstore’s appliances.

In an effort to understand the nature of the gruesome murder, current and former staffers at Walmart have been weighing in about the appliance showing the inner workings of the superstore’s bakery. In one video, TikTok user Chris Breezie explains that the oven she used while working at Walmart turned on from the outside and that the door handle was “really hard” to open.

“I don’t even know if I would fit in here,” she said. “I’m 5 foot 1, medium built. I would have to crouch down to get in.” Breezie also pointed out that there was an emergency latch located inside the oven, nor were there any tasks that required a person to enter the oven physically.

“I would never be in here, whether I’m cleaning it or not,” she said. According to the employee, in order to lock the oven, “you have to push [the latch] with all your might and pull the handle to the side and lock it in place.” She added: “There is no way possible somebody could lock themselves in there.”

During her video, Breezie stated that she believed Kaur had been thrown into the oven by a second person. “Now, somebody could throw me in there and lock me in there, but that’s a whole different scenario,” she said. Another employee named Mary backed up the theory.

“It doesn’t make any sense. This door does not close by itself… It doesn’t latch,” she said in a separate TikTok Video. “It’s designed not to do that. You have to push it, hear the click.” In the video, the employee demonstrated how the door works and even pointed out how the emergency latch on the side and how if a person pushed it, the door would release.

“I’m not trying to theorize or form a conspiracy, it’s just hard to wrap my head around it when Walmart’s bakery ovens are so safe to use,” Mary said. The video has since amassed over 27 million views and has sparked an outpouring of responses from various Walmart employees across the nation.

Police are still investigating the young woman’s death and the Walmart will remain closed during the investigation. Authorities are still looking into how the girl got trapped in the oven in the first place.

The Daily Mail managed to obtain the dispatch call which revealed that several coworkers were present at the time of the incident. According to the call, there was a “female employee locked in an oven in the bakery.” and the “Oven is on. Unsure if staff are able to turn it off.”
