Canadian influencer Nancy Grewal, 45, stabbed to death as police launch murder probe

Authorities in Ontario, Canada are investigating the fatal stabbing Tuesday of influencer Nancy Grewal, who was pronounced dead at the age of 45.

LaSalle Police Chief Michael Pearce said in a statement that 'investigators are confident this was not a random act of violence.'

Pearce said that 'Grewal's murder is being investigated as an intentional act against her,' adding that 'all information is being considered' in the ongoing probe.

'While we recognize the significant public interest in this case,' the police chief said, 'we will not share information that will compromise the investigation, including leads, tips, and investigative avenues.'

Authorities previously said that the deadly stabbing took place 'just before 9:30 p.m.' and was being viewed as 'an isolated incident.'

Grewal 'was transported by Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries,' police previously said.

The Daily Mail has reached out to police and Grewal's family for further comment on the story. 

Grewal had amassed a sizable social media following, with more than 13,000 Instagram followers and 9,000 more on YouTube, with content focused on lifestyle and fitness.

Grewal often discussed about politics related to Canada and India, and the political relationship between the countries. 

Her final post on Instagram was put up February 26.

Law enforcement had been seen Wednesday morning closing off a pair of homes on the street where the murder took place, according to a report from the Windsor Star.

A series of evidence markers had been seen placed in the cordoned-off areas, the paper reported.

A wooded area near the site of the killing had been secured with yellow tape, according to the newspaper.

Grewal's sister Alishaa Grewal took to Instagram Wednesday with an emotional memorial for her slain sibling.

Alishaa wrote, 'With a very heavy heart I share that my beloved sister Nancy Grewal has passed away on 3 March 2026. 

'I lost my sister, my strength, my forever friend. Rest in peace, my sister. You will always live in our hearts.'

Another graphic her sister posted with an image of the late content creator read, 'Signing off from this world,' adding, 'Thank you for being a part of my journey.' 

Police said that anyone who has information in connection with the incident is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Jamie Nestor at 519-969-5210 ext. 2531.
