Nancy Grewal, a Punjabi-origin YouTuber, was fatally stabbed in LaSalle, Canada. Despite prompt medical attention, she succumbed to her injuries.
Punjabi-origin YouTuber Nancy Grewal was murdered in Canada on Tuesday night. LaSalle police described the stabbing as “an isolated incident.” The statement was issued a day after the 45-year-old succumbed to her injuries.
A Windsor resident, Grewal, was born on 19 January. Her father studied engineering at Sirsa National College in Haryana. She lived with her pet dog ‘Bazveer.’ After her father's death, she had taken responsibility for her mother. Grewal had built a strong social media presence, boasting 1.18 lakh followers on Instagram.
In a post on social media, LaSalle Police Service offered condolences over the death of Grewal and said, “Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ms. Grewal.” The statement added, “To ease public concern, we are sharing that investigators are viewing this as an isolated incident.”
As per the police report, emergency services responded to a report of a stabbing shortly before 9:30 pm on Tuesday in the 2400 block of Todd Lane. Eyewitnesses found a woman suffering from stab wounds. Members of the Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services promptly rushed the woman to the hospital, but she could not be saved and “succumbed to her injuries” on the same day.
On Wednesday morning, officers cordoned off two homes between Canada Street and Bishop Street on Todd Lane and placed yellow police tape around a wooded area about a kilometre away, local news outlet Windsor Star reported.
The investigators found multiple evidence markers at the crime scene, running along a concrete path and leading up the stairs to the front door of one of the houses. This marked the second homicide of 2026 in the region. The first took place about two weeks ago, when the victim was a 44-year-old man.
For information related to the recent fatal stabbing incident, the police urged the public to contact Det. Sgt. Jamie Nestor at 519-969-5210 ext. 2531. The police also asked residents in the neighbourhood to screen their surveillance cameras and report any suspicious activity if detected.
