Ontario, Dec 16 (IBNS): The bodies of Canadian billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife Honey were reportedly found inside their home in Toronto, reports said.

Local police have termed the deaths as suspicious.

Condoling the demise, Ontario's Health Minister Eric Hoskins, tweeted, "I am beyond words right now. My dear friends Barry and Honey Sherman have been found dead. Wonderful human beings, incredible philanthropists, great leaders in health care. A very, very sad day. Barry, Honey, rest in peace."

Earlier, Apotex confirmed the news on Twitter via its official handle.
