It was early in 2021 that additional information was published by Canadian media, though not detailed enough to reveal potential suspects.
Barry Sherman, founder and chairman of the board of drug giant Apotex, and his wife Honey Sherman, were found dead in the basement area of their home in Toronto’s North York neighbourhood on Dec. 15, 2017. The cause of death was determined by investigators to be caused by ligature neck compressions, a type of strangulation.
According to CBC News, Apotex lost a $500 million court case involving a drug patent in the weeks leading up to their deaths. The company had laid off staff, with more cuts forthcoming.
The Sherman home was for sale at the time of the murders. The couple’s real estate agent, Elise Stern, called police from the home at 11:45 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 15, 2017.
“They’re dead,” Stern frantically. Along with realtor Weidong Zhao and his clients, Stern made the discovery as they wrapped up a showing of the home. Zhao said his clients, who were from mainland China, considered it a “bad omen” to see the bodies and left the home before police arrived.
Eight days after the bodies were discovered, son Jonathon Sherman told investigators that “the couple had enemies.”
