Canadian billionaire couple were found hanged side-by-side
at their home on December 15, 2017, in what seemed like suicide (read here),
but private detectives probing the death believe they were murdered by multiple
killers.
Honey Sherman, 70, was found by a real estate agent in a
pool of her own blood alongside her Canadian billionaire husband Barry, 75, on
December 15. Their circumstance of their death appeared suspicious hence an
investigation.
Their bodies were found in an upright seated position on the
floor hanging from a railing next to an indoor pool inside their £5.2 million
Toronto home. Investigators found evidence that the pair had their necks
wrapped with leather belts while their wrists showed signs they had been bound together.
But the couple were found with their wrists untied with no sign of rope or
cords nearby.
A coroner ruled the couple had been strangled, CBC news
reports, and there was no sign of forced entry. Honey had cuts on her face and
was wearing the same clothes she had been seen in two days before, leading
experts to believe the couple were killed on December 13. Evidence also
suggests Honey had been lying face-down on the tile bleeding for some time
before being tied to the handrail.
Police said they were working on the theory the couple died
in a murder-suicide, although this was disputed by family and friends. The
couple’s children hired private detectives to investigate the death of the
philanthropic couple. Toronto Police’s homicide unit has not classified the
deaths as homicides.
Businessman Barry founded Canadian pharmaceutical giant
Apotex and was said to be worth £3.5 billion.
