Idk if if's a conspiracy but some people are calling foul play. A Walmart employee posted on social media (and got fired over it) explaining how the door doesn't close unless you push it shut.
They also said it doesn't turn on unless you press the buttons from the outside while the door is shut, as well as there being a way to open it from the inside.
Someone may have not known she was in there and turned it on, and maybe the inside latch wouldn't work / she didn't know how / someone could have forced it closed. I feel for her family.
Most of the walk in ovens for Walmart have windows as well, so it's confusing how someone turned it on then didn't notice a human being in there. This all seems so weird with so many coincidences leading to someone being cooked alive that I truly feel someone likely either wanted to kill this girl or horribly torture her (my mind races to other "pranks" in which mainly girls and women are locked in freezers or other storage places by fellow employees).
Never worked at a place with a walk in oven, but if they are anything like walk in fridges/freezers... technically... its possible for the inside handle to break in a way that it no longer moves the door latch. You won't know the handle on the inside can't move the door latch until you try to open the door. I've had to kick my way out of a malfunctioning freezer door a few times.
I wonder how the "on" button works for their model of oven? Would it be possible that somebody moved a cart/boxes in a way that blocked the door from opening and hit the "on" button?

Welp... today I learned that it isn't standard to have an emergency shutoff inside a walk in oven.
used to work at a bakery and the walk in ovens there need you to shut it and then turn the handle, it will not go on otherwise (actually really annoying if the ovens are old and the doors are getting difficult to shut)
it's actually fucking insane to prank someone with these things if that is what happened, the oven is a terrifying place to be in even when it's cold and you're cleaning it.

It feels like it's gotta have a foul play element beyond negligence. It may not but have one, but it just feels unlikely.
