Halifax police say the death of a 19-year-old woman found dead last month inside a large oven at a Walmart in the city's west end is not suspicious and there is no evidence of foul play.

Halifax Regional Police offered a short update in a news release on the case Monday, but did not say how Kaur died, only that the death was not suspicious.

Walmart said last week the bakery oven was being removed from the store. Removing the oven had always been part of a standard remodel program being implemented across the country, the company said.

I'd like to be able to agree that nobody enjoys having their words twisted to suit others' agendas. There seems to be plenty of that going around from both parties, and if you feel I've done that to you then I apologize.

Mostly I'm frustrated here because I'm advocating for the victim. I hope she gets justice and this doesn't happen again - whatever it is that indeed happened. It's equally tragic no matter who it was or where they were from, but 19 is just too young to no longer be here.

Perhaps I'm showing my biases here, but I don't trust institutional monoliths like the police or Walmart. Once bitten, twice shy. The truth is we'll never know what happened because none of us were there.

I've left this discussion with the feeling that you're calling me racist and am out here trying to cause distress for the family. It's just so far off that mark that it goes beyond the pale.

I hope your day gets better.

I’d like to be able to agree that nobody enjoys having their words twisted to suit others’ agendas.

What does this have to do with the topic of adding conjecture needlessly to conversations?

Mostly I’m frustrated here because I’m advocating for the victim.

No you aren't.

Yeah, teenagers just up and die and end up in ovens all the time, nothing weird about that at all /s

Maybe there’s details that aren’t being shared, and I suppose you can’t really rule out an industrial accident, but HMMMMM

This is not "advocating for the victim". This is non sense that adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.

The truth is we’ll never know what happened because none of us were there.

At least you finally understand what I have been saying.

I’ve left this discussion with the feeling that you’re calling me racist and am out here trying to cause distress for the family. It’s just so far off that mark that it goes beyond the pale.

Allow me to confirm your feelings.

I am calling you a racist and saying your actions cause distress to victims. Because you are and they do.

I hope your day gets better.

What makes you think it isn't going good? Do you believe that some random with an ignorant opinion on a situation has the ability to destroy my whole day?

The ego on you is impressive. Unwarranted, but impressive.
