Nova Scotia’s Department of Labour has lifted its stop-work order at a Halifax Walmart more than a week after the body of 19-year-old Gursimran Kaur was discovered in an industrial oven in the store’s bakery.

The department said the order was lifted Monday evening after officials determined the store had complied with safety standards.

However, on Tuesday, a Walmart spokesperson said the store on Mumford Road will remain closed until further notice.

In an email to CTV Atlantic, the spokesperson also said the company has provided financial assistance to the family of the young woman.

“We know this has been an incredibly difficult time for the associate’s family as they grieve. We continue to be in direct contact with them and have provided financial assistance,” reads the email.

A GoFundMe fundraiser to assist the young woman's family has raised more than $190,000.

According to Halifax Regional Police, there are no longer investigators at the store; however, the investigation remains ongoing.
