The death of a young Halifax woman whose body was recently found in a Walmart’s walk-in oven was not suspicious and did not involve foul play, police said Monday.

The death of the 19-year-old employee in the store’s bakery was reported on Oct. 19.

Halifax Regional Police issued a statement saying they had informed the woman’s family of their findings.

“The family asks the public to respect their privacy and the dignity and memory of their loved one, as they receive this news,” police said in a statement.
