Billionaire couple found dead in their basement had been strangled, Canadian police say
By Cleve R. Wootson Jr. December 18 at 8:56 AM
The billionaire couple were found strangled, their bodies dangling from the railing around their basement lap pool.
Honey and Barry Sherman died of “ligature neck compression,” a form of strangulation in which a cord or rope is used to exert fatal pressure on a person’s neck, Toronto police said.
It was a gory and puzzling detail in the deaths of the Shermans, who made billions in the pharmaceutical industry, then gave a significant chunk of their fortune away to charity.
Shocked neighbors called the Shermans “lovely people.” Now, their deaths are being probed by homicide investigators.
