A chilling emergency services dispatch call has laid bare how a 19-year-old girl became trapped in an oven at a Walmart, ultimately leading to her death.

The teenager was working at the Halifax store in Nova Scotia when she became trapped inside a walk-in oven in the bakery on Saturday night.

A dispatch officer described the unfolding tragedy to first responders, revealing there was a ‘female locked in an oven in the bakery.’

‘Oven is on. Unsure if staff are able to turn it off.’ 

It is understood the girl only arrived in Canada within the last three years, and was closely linked to the Maritime Sikh Society.

By the time first responders arrived on the scene, they told dispatch the woman ‘was out of the oven.’ 

She died at the scene.
