According to the statement, state police from the Somer Barracks and Pound Ridge Police departments responded to a call in the Town of Pound Ridge on Friday. When they arrived at the residence on Fox Hill Road, police discovered the bodies of three deceased people, according to the official statement. A preliminary investigation alleges that 56-year-old Steven Dym of Pound Ridge, took the life of his 50-year-old wife Loretta Dym, their daughter, Caroline Dym, age 18, before killing himself.
The Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct autopsies to try to determine the cause of death of all three subjects.
A woman who cleaned the home for the family discovered the bodies around 11 a.m., LOHUD News reported. By Friday afternoon, officers had partitioned off a section of the residential street between Pheasant Road and Long Ridge Road.
Pound Ridge Police Chief Dave Ryan was first on the scene Friday morning. Ryan said this case was the only murder he has seen in the 19 years he’s been with the department, CBS Local News reported.
“They are heartbroken, and they’re probably heartbroken for a lot of reasons,” he said, “You have a young family, and two young children, and there’s a surviving child. Imagine the heartbreak for that young boy.”

• Forensic investigators were in the house collecting evidence and Investigators were interviewing neighbors and relatives, said state police Investigator Joseph Becerra.
