MECHANICVILLE, N.Y. (WCAX) – Police have released the names of six people who were found dead in a home in Northern New York, and four of them were children.<\/p>\n
The bodies were found Tuesday evening at a residence in Mechanicville. That\u2019s in Saratoga County.<\/p>\n
Police were called to the home of Amy Steadman on Harris Avenue for a welfare check after neighbors said they hadn\u2019t heard from the family in about two weeks.<\/p>\n
Inside, they found the six people dead: Steadman, 64; Sarah Myers, 44; Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; Gavin Harmon, 10; and Gracelynn Harmon, 10.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Steadman was Myers\u2019 mother and the children\u2019s grandmother. They say Myers and her children lived in the same apartment complex, but not with Steadman.<\/p>\n
Neighbor Amanda Gary told our sister station WRGB the loss was heartbreaking, especially as a parent.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery upsetting. It\u2019s sorry, it\u2019s just having a, a little guy and knowing that there\u2019s four little babies that are no longer with us, it\u2019s very upsetting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Police say there is no evidence anyone outside the group was involved in the deaths, and there is no known threat to the public.<\/p>\n
They say autopsies are underway and the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
