The Toronto Van Attack Victims: What We Know

Dorothy Sewell

Ms. Sewell, 80, was also a sports fan, her grandson Elwood Delaney told the C.B.C.

“She loved her Maple Leafs; she loved her Blue Jays,” Mr. Delaney said referring to Toronto’s hockey and baseball teams. “I don’t think she ever missed a Blue Jays game.”

Mr. Delaney said Ms. Sewell, who had worked at Sears Canada, died while going to the bank. News of her death, he said, had produced a mix of “pure anger and then sadness” in him.

Munair Najjar

Jordan’s state-run news agency reported on Tuesday that Munair Najjar, a Jordanian citizen, had been killed in the attack, and that the Jordanian Foreign Ministry was coordinating the repatriation of the body. He had been in Toronto on a family visit, the agency said.

Several Canadian news outlets reported that Mr. Najjar was visiting children and grandchildren in Toronto at the time of his death.

Renuka Amarasinghe

Ms. Amarasinghe, 48, a native of Sri Lanka, had worked as a nutrition staff member at a number of schools in Toronto over the past three years. The Toronto District School Board announced her death in a statement. She had just completed her first day at a new school at the time of her death, the school board said.

The youth council at the Toronto Mahavihara Buddhist Meditation Centre, where she was a member, said in an online post that Ms. Amarasinghe was the single mother of a 7-year-old son, Dioyon. The group has set up a GoFundMe campaign for the boy, which by late Wednesday afternoon, had raised over 61,000 Canadian dollars. The child, the group said, has no other family in Canada.
