Kind of baffled. I'm familiar with Toronto, and I don't have any likely explanations for that kind of thing there unless it was a suicide pact without a note (they were in their mid-70s), or a badly failed kidnapping attempt.

Sherman was the #12 richest Canadian, so pretty high on the totem pole. I used to see the former #1 billionaire owner of Hudson's Bay (founded 1670!), Ken Thomson, around the main store. He displayed part of his Group of Seven collection publicly on one floor (that group was funded by the Massey-Harris fortune.)
