The Urbex man’s photos and videos also show beds, leather couches, tables and many keepsakes, plus a very large box of medications (mostly with Honey’s name on the label), some with Apotex labels, some not. “To me, a lot of it looked like evidence. Among them, an upcoming dinner engagement scrawled on a note another, a list of planned showings of the house, which had been for sale. Despite a major police investigation in the case, and one by a private detective team working for the Sherman family, the man found furniture and cabinets intact, and photos, papers and files scattered around. What he found inside the home was surprising. I waited until the security cameras came down just before the demolition started,” the man said in an interview. There is a subculture in Toronto, and elsewhere, called “urbex” or “urban explorers,” people who go where they are not supposed to go, sometimes for art through photography, simple curiosity, or thrill. The site of the Shermans’ murder 17 months earlier by ligature strangulation was slated for demolition. One Saturday afternoon in May of 2019, when nobody was looking, a man slipped under the garage door of the late Barry and Honey Sherman’s home. Mine which I post in the World forum tend to be about sites after they're gone.Īn ‘urban explorer’ entered Barry and Honey Sherman’s home before demolition and saw papers that ‘looked like evidence’īy Kevin DonovanChief Investigative Reporter There are about three of us who have started contributing articles about urban exploring to various publications. In my experience, most articles about urban exploring are clickbait, along the lines of "check out these extreme thrill-seekers," "marvel at these pictures while also criticising the people who took them" and really sensationalist articles about sites, "Urban explorer baffled by abandoned amusement park," "Terrifying haunted abandoned mental hospital," "Spooky wartime massacre site." If they can make one of those articles into an obituary, all the better.įull disclosure, I work at a newspaper, although exploring comes before "journalism." I recruited one reporter into our group, and it was a very slow, cautious process to make sure she could handle the responsibility. Otherwise, most media articles and stories about Urban Explorers relate to those killed or injured in the pursuit of exploring. Though without reading the article, I could be wrong. The right thing to do would probably have been to not touch anything and contact the police.
I can't read the article, but if an explorer visits a crime scene and tampers with evidence, there are bigger issues at play than UE ethics. The publicity for the Urbex community certainly isn’t very good when tragedy happens, not that what we do is positive in general public opinion to begin with. I’ve come across one notable case involving a fatality many years ago. Unfortunately, this is a reality of our hobby and there is a forum dedicated to the memory of those losses on this site. But I have a feeling the police might not feel the same way and the explorer(s) might find themselves in possible criminal or legal trouble. Obviously the situation is a big deal and the person seems to think what they found warrants evidence. Taking belongings from a site goes against the ethics of urban exploring. Apparently some Urbex individual had the opportunity to take a look around the mansion before it’s demolition and secured some “evidence.” The home was destroyed at the request of the family. The article is about an elderly couple, high up in the pharmaceutical industry who were murdered at their mansion in Toronto. What are your thoughts on the media in relation to Urbex?
