Police believe Davis was targeted - maybe even for his environmental philanthropy. Voice of: Det. Wayne Fowler Toronto Police Dept. Davis had cheated death twice before. Davis was severely beaten in December 2005 outside his Toronto office but his life was saved by onlookers who intervened. His attacker left in a van. No arrests were made. Police are unsure if its connected to his murder. Davis escaped death twice before Davis was one of just 18 survivors of a June 1983 airplane fire that killed 23 people. Davis was aboard an Air Canada jet bound for Toronto that was destroyed by fire after making an emergency landing at Greater Cincinnati Airport. Canadian folk star Stan Rogers was killed in the fire but Davis survived. Some says Davis's life was changed by that fire - and that's when he betgan heavily donating to environmental causes.
