HALIFAX – Police say they are investigating the sudden death of a 19-year-old female employee at a Halifax Walmart on Saturday night.
The city’s regional police force says officers were called to the store on Mumford Road at around 9:30 p.m., where they found the woman dead.
A news release today says occupational health and safety officials are investigating what happened, alongside police and the provincial medical examiner’s service.
In an email, Walmart spokesperson Amanda Moss said the store is temporarily closed and the company is providing grief counselling to its workers.
Moss would not say if the woman was on shift when she died.
An email from the provincial Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration says police have control of the scene and it cannot offer any more information about what happened.
“We extend sympathies to the employee’s family at this incredibly difficult time,” spokesperson Sarah MacNeil wrote.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 21, 2024.
