The president of Grafton-Fraser, which owns Mr. Big & Tall, says the company has zero tolerance for all forms of bullying and the man no longer works there.
Claveau says her anti-bullying group has passed on hundreds of other complaints to Facebook staff and the RCMP.
Todd's Facebook Memorial Page has received a lot of positive and negative feedback since she died.
The page has over 700,000 likes and seen a lot of activity since her death, The Vancouver Sun reported.
Todd’s death has also led to the Alberta government re-visting the Education Act, a piece of legislature that deals with anti-bullying initiatives.
An alleged tormentor was also named this week by hacker group called Anonymous, who published the name and address of a Vancouver-area man, and claim he was behind the bullying of Todd.
