Mystery Builds After Canadian Billionaire And Wife Found Dead In Basement Of Mansion

The bodies of Barry Sherman, the billionaire founder of global generic drug giant Apotex Inc., and his wife, Honey, were found in the basement of the Shermans’ Toronto mansion on Friday, but mystery surrounds the cause of their deaths.

The Shermans had just put their house up for sale for $6.9-million at 50 Old Colony Road, located in a posh North York neighbourhood. A relative, who asked not to be identified, said a real estate agent, preparing for an open house, had discovered the two bodies in the large home’s basement Friday morning.

Apotex released a statement late Friday confirming the deaths: “We’ve been informed of the tragic news that Barry and Honey Sherman have unexpectedly passed away.

All of us at Apotex are deeply shocked and saddened by this news and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
