The Cooper University Health Care system will honor its former president and CEO as well as his wife by naming a building after them more than two years after their deaths. The Cooper University Health Care Board of Trustees Chairman George E. Norcross III announced Sunday that the Three Cooper Plaza building in Camden, New Jersey will be renamed The John and Joyce Sheridan Health Center at Three Cooper Plaza.
John Sheridan, 72, joined the Cooper Health system in 2005 after a career in public service and law. He became president and CEO of Cooper Health in 2008, a position he held until 2014 when he and his wife died under undetermined circumstances. His wife Joyce Sheridan, 69, was a high school social studies teacher.
John Sheridan left a lasting legacy at Cooper University Health Care and in Camden, a city he worked tirelessly to improve, Norcross said. John and his beloved wife, Joyce, loved Cooper, and the Cooper family loved them back. Its only fitting that they will always be remembered at Cooper University Health Care in this way.
The John and Joyce Sheridan Health Center is approximately 160,000 square feet and located on the Health Sciences Campus in Camden. It houses primary care, specialists and community health physicians who provide care for local residents.

What's really strange is, I believe I read, there was hundreds in cash sitting on their dresser in the bedroom they were found in. So it wasn't robbery or even drugs, I don't think because usually druggies need money. Someone angry at him???

A couple of articles related to this case:
Court reverses dismissal of whistleblowing case in Sheridan deaths
Cooper CEO Adrienne Kirby retiring, co-successors named
The second article mentions: Kirby, who began her career as a nurse, was named president and CEO in 2013. She expanded her role after the September 2014 death of John Sheridan, then the president and CEO of Cooper Health System.
New job for old prosecutor ousted by ex-Gov. Christie
Soriano was replaced by Gov. Chris Christie in 2016 after mounting criticism about his handling of the violent deaths of John and Joyce Sheridan. The couple was found dead inside the master bedroom of their Montgomery Township home in 2014.

Only way this case will be solved is if outside help intervenes. That would now be the FBI.
I gave the police my theory and at the very end, the Montgomery detective says to me... you never know what someone can do (referring to John killing his wife and throwing the armoire atop himself). This is after 30 minutes of giving who could have done it. I've actually changed my mind on who originally did it, now someone else. And there were definitely 2 killers.

So can the FBI be called in? I don't know how this works. I followed this case and the Dermonds, also killed in 2014 and they both are still unsolved cases..
FWIW.
Just stumbled onto this case while looking for news concerning the Shermans, a billionaire couple whose deaths were first believed to be murder/ suicide, in part because there were no signs of forced entry ect.
The adult children insisted a second autopsy be performed just as in this case, and although it has now been declared a double murder, there have been no suspects named.

''Every weekend John and Joyce Sheridan could be found in Mullica Hill pursuing their mutual love of antiquing. The husband and wife duo owned The Great Cooperstown Trading Company, an antique shop in the multi-dealer space known as The Yellow Garage. Their corner of the shop—which offered antique furniture and art handpicked by the couple— was named for the family’s vacation home in Cooperstown, N.Y., where they would bring their adult children and grandchildren for trips away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.
When the day was over, the couple would get into the car for an hour-and- change drive back up 295 to their home in Montgomery Township. There they would settle in for a night together in their cream-colored Colonial with blue shutters and a salmon pink door, their bedroom windows facing out to the street where they lived.
That home, which was scattered with antiques that the couple couldn’t part with, now sits vacant. The furniture has been cleared out and photos removed.''

A hospital in Camden is honoring the life of its former chief executive who was found dead along with his wife in their home in 2014.

New details on mystery surrounding deaths of Cooper CEO, wife
"There are at least three mysteries — perhaps more — surrounding the Sept. 28 deaths of Cooper Health System CEO and President John P. Sheridan Jr. and his wife.
The first and most fundamental is: What exactly killed the Sheridans early on the last Sunday in September?
Though media accounts attributed the cause to a fire in the couple's bedroom, authorities still have not said how they died.
Second: Why did Sheridan and his wife, Joyce, die in the home where they had lived for more than three decades?
Was it a targeted double murder? A murder-suicide?
"Friends find both options impossible to square with the Sheridans' character and their marital relationship."
The Sheridans' home remains decorated for Halloween, though two ghosts have blown down. A longtime neighbor spoke to Joyce Sheridan as she decorated for the holiday the Saturday before the fire.
A stack of mail clogs the mailbox. Joyce Sheridan's BMW sits in the driveway. Her husband's Cadillac has been moved."
The third mystery, given the long passage of time, is this: Why is all but the most basic information about the criminal investigation being kept from the public?

Thanks for posting this article! I had no idea until now that the Sheridan's owned a vacation home in Cooperstown- my neck of the woods, so to speak.
I've been very interested in this case for some time and also thought it would have garnered much more interest and discussion than it has. Never say never- one can only hope.

Confession in NJ political murder-for-hire gives family hope for answers to parents' death (yahoo.com)
''Now, John’s son Mark Sheridan thinks he and his three brothers might be a step closer to figuring out what happened to their parents on Sept. 28, 2014, because of another bizarre case — the 2014 murder-for-hire plot that led to the death of Michael Galdieri of Jersey City under suspiciously similar circumstances.''
"I ask that you reach out to [federal authorities] to request photos of the knife recovered at the time of [Bratsenis'] arrest to determine if it matches the set of knives from my parents' kitchen," Sheridan wrote. "Perhaps, if you are so inclined, you might even ask for a DNA sample from the knife to see if there is a match for either of my parents' DNA or the unexplained male DNA referenced in the State Police report related to my parents' deaths."
Authorities say Bratsenis is one of two men hired by former Democratic political consultant Sean Caddle to kill Galdieri in May 2014 — about six months before the Sheridans’ deaths.''

Thank you for posting this. I have my fingers crossed and I am praying the Sheridan Family can hopefully get some answers and justice for John & Joyce Sheridan. I never believed this to be a murder-suicide and commend the sons for their never-ending pursuit in this case. It’s just mind-boggling that there hasn’t been more assistance from LE on this - at least on the surface. I am a former Cooper employee, so this has always been of interest to me.
