PHARMACEUTICAL billionaire Barry Sherman, chairman and ceo of Apotex Inc, and his wife were found dead in their Toronto, Canada home under suspicious circumstances late last week.
"Toronto Police are investigating, and I hope that investigation will be able to provide answers for all of us who are mourning this tremendous loss," Toronto mayor John Tory said.
The Shermans had recently listed their home for sale for nearly C$7m (around AU$7.11m) and their bodies were found by the real estate agent in the basement.
The couple were well known for their philanthropy benefiting hospitals, universities and Jewish organisations.
Apotex is the world's seventh largest generic drugmaker with 11,000 employees and annual sales of more than C$2 billion in more than 45 countries.
