John Sheridan, 79, was pronounced dead on the scene, while his wife, Joyce, 69, succumbed to her injuries a short time later at the hospital
[From article]
On the tape released by investigators Wednesday to Philadelphia Inquirer, the neighbor can be heard saying that he saw smoke coming from the home of John and Joyce Sheridan and ‘somebody's trying to get out, they're banging on the door.’
Earlier this month, investigators ruled that fire had been intentionally set in a Montgomery Township home where 72-year-old John Sheridan lived with his 69-year-old wife.
Mr Sheridan was president and CEO of Camden-based Cooper University Health Care, which has more than 700 physicians and serves more than half a million patients a year.
Sheridan, a Republican, also had ties to Governor Chris Christie and served as general counsel to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
