The Sikh community in Halifax, Canada is rallying around the family of Gursimran Kaur, a 19-year-old Walmart employee who was found dead on Saturday in the store’s walk-in bakery oven.
Community leaders who knew the family shared that Kaur and her mother immigrated to Canada from India around two years ago, and both women had been working together at that Walmart location.
