The bodies of Amy Steadman and her daughter, Sarah Myers, 44, were discovered Tuesday evening after a neighbor requested a welfare check, saying that they had not seen Steadman for some time and were concerned, Mechanicville police chief William Rabbitt said at a news conference. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After officers were unable to make contact with Steadman, building management let them into the apartment, he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cUpon entering the residence, officers located six deceased individuals,\u201d Rabbitt said.<\/p>\n

Myers\u2019 four children \u2014 Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; and Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon, both 10 \u2014 were also found in the apartment.<\/p>\n

Rabbitt said the unit belonged to Steadman and that Myers and her children lived in a separate apartment in the building. <\/p>\n

The chief said that he believes the family had been dead for \u201can extended period of time\u201d and that officers could not immediately make identification because of the conditions of the bodies. They were identified after autopsies were conducted on Wednesday, he told reporters.<\/p>\n

One of the children is believed to have suffered fatal sharp-force injuries, Rabbitt said. Investigators also \u201crecovered evidence inside the apartment\u201d that indicates intentional poisoning, including \u201cnumerous prescription and over-the-counter medications,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The causes and manners of death for all six people are pending further testing. <\/p>\n

A handwritten note found in the apartment \u201cstrongly suggests that Amy Steadman was involved in the deaths,\u201d the chief said. He declined to discuss the note\u2019s contents and said there was no evidence to indicate that an outside individual was involved in the deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, final determination regarding responsibility will be made only after all investigative findings, toxicology results, and medical examiner reviews have been completed,\u201d the chief said. <\/p>\n

The children\u2019s father lives in Utah. The children were homeschooled and were not enrolled in public school, Rabbitt said.<\/p>\n
