Police have released few details of the investigation but autopsy results showed the couple died from ligature neck compression.

Toronto Mayor John Tory is also expected to attend the service being held at a Mississagua trade and convention centre.

Barry Sherman founded pharmaceutical giant Apotex in 1974. The company is one of the largest Canadian-owned drug company.
