المصدر: Fox News | Source: Fox NewsA father is grieving the loss of his four young children following an alleged murder-suicide poisoning plot.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, the children's father, Brady Harmon, said nothing could have prepared him for the shocking and devastating news. He said, "There is no preparation. It's horrendous."
The children's grandmother is suspected of poisoning the four children and their mother before taking her own life in Mechanicville, New York, police said during a Thursday news conference.
"There is recovered evidence inside the apartment that indicates intentional poisoning with numerous prescriptions and over-the-counter medication," said Mechanicville Police Chief William Rabbitt.

He added that during an autopsy examination it was discovered that one of the child victims may have "suffered fatal sharp force injuries."
Investigators made their grim discovery during a welfare check at the home on Tuesday, June 23.
MPD named those found dead:
During the news conference, police named Steadman as the children's grandmother. Rabbitt said investigators found a "handwritten note" that may link her to the deaths.
He also said causes of death are pending additional investigation and toxicology testing.
Before the young victims were found dead, Harmon, who lives in Utah, told Fox News Digital he was planning on taking his children back to Utah with him for the summer. He never had the chance.
He was fighting an ongoing custody battle with the children's mother, Myers, he said. He also told Fox News Digital he had concerns about the children's safety and well-being before the tragedy.
His worst fears became realized.
"The system is broken, it takes way too long to get anything done. I spent six and a half years fighting to be able to have access to my kids," he said.
While the murder investigation continues, Harmon said, "My concern right now is being able to bring my kids home, and have them away from those two monsters that did this to them."
