Episode Details

19-year-old Gursimran Kaur moved from India to Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her mother and worked alongside her at a Walmart on Mumford Road. On October 19, 2024, Gursimran disappeared during her shift. After desperately searching the store, her mother discovered her daughter dead inside a large walk-in bakery oven, triggering an investigation and worldwide questions about how such a horrifying workplace death could happen.

Halifax Regional Police eventually found no evidence of foul play, while a separate Nova Scotia workplace-safety investigation concluded in February 2026 that the oven was functioning properly and found no safety violations that contributed to Gursimran Kaur's death. In this episode of You Can't Unhear, we examine the verified timeline, the investigation, the viral theories surrounding the Walmart oven, and the haunting question that remains publicly unanswered: exactly how did Gursimran end up inside?
