Victor Nicolas Davis, CM (February 10, 1964 – November 13, 1989) was a Canadian Olympic and world champion swimmer who specialized in the breaststroke.

He also enjoyed success in the individual medley and the butterfly.

Victor Davis was born in Guelph, Ontario.

A star of Canada's national swim team for nine years, he retired from competitive swimming in July 1989.

A few months after his retirement, on November 11, 1989, while outside a nightclub in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Davis was struck by a car driven by Glen Crossley, who fled the scene.

Crossley told police he hit Davis while trying to avoid a juice bottle Davis threatened to throw at the vehicle and didn't realize he made contact with the swimmer.

However, other testimony showed that Davis was actually hit from behind and thrown 14 m in the air before hitting his head on a parked car and a street curb.

Two days later, the 25-year-old swimmer died of a severe skull fracture as well as brain hemorrhage and spinal hemorrhage in hospital.

1992

In February 1992, Crossley was found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident and sentenced to ten months in prison, ultimately serving four months.

Davis's parents fulfilled his express wish that his organs be donated to help save the lives of others.

Each year since his death, awards are made by the Victor Davis Memorial Fund to help young Canadian swimmers continue their education while training.
