Friends and family are grieving the loss of Gurvinder Nath, the 24-year-old food delivery driver who died from a violent carjacking in Mississauga earlier this month.

Friends and family are grieving the loss of Gurvinder Nath, the 24-year-old food delivery driver who died from a violent carjacking in Mississauga earlier this month.

“He was a very good person, very hard-working,” Balram Krishan, Nath’s cousin, told CTV News Toronto in an interview. “We were very close.”

Peel police confirmed Monday that Nath succumbed to his injuries over the weekend following the incident on July 9.

Nath was delivering pizza at around 2:10 a.m., in the area of Britannia and Creditview roads, when unknown suspects confronted him and tried to steal his vehicle.

Officers said an altercation ensued and the suspects drove away in Nath’s car, leaving him at the side of the road with life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to a trauma centre but died on July 14.

“He was innocent, he was just delivering pizza (when) random people hit him on his head,” Krishan said.
