Police have confirmed the body of an employee who died at a Walmart in Halifax over the weekend was found in a walk-in oven.
Halifax Regional Police (HRP) responded to a sudden death at the store on Mumford Road around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police say the 19-year-old woman was found in a large walk-in oven belonging to the store’s bakery department.
“It is important to note that the investigation has not yet reached a point where the cause and manner of death have been confirmed,” said HRP Const. Martin Cromwell in a news release Tuesday.
“The investigation is complex and involves several partner agencies. An investigation of this nature may take a significant amount of time.”
The confirmation comes after rumours about the woman’s death circulated on social media and in the community, prompting police to urge residents not to speculate online.
“We urge the public to be mindful of sharing speculative information on social media,” said Cromwell.
