A teenage Walmart employee who was found dead at her store’s walk-in oven last week was said to have been “trapped” inside while the power was still on, according to audio recordings from emergency responders who responded to the tragedy.

The call, which lasts about 90 seconds, was published by The Daily Mailshows a dispatcher describing the incident as a “technical rescue call” at the Walmart in Halifax, Canada.

“The woman is locked in an oven at the bakery, the oven is on, unsure if the staff can turn it off,” the dispatcher says in the audio.

Another first responder later asks, “The person trapped in the – on their – did we turn off the power for that? Would the staff want to turn off the power?”…If we make contact.”

Shortly afterwards, however, another officer said that “the person was out of the oven when he arrived” and the matter was being handled by regional police.
