The wealthy businessman who gunned down his wife and daughter before shooting himself in an apparent double murder-suicide on Friday had a history of family violence.
Steven Dym, 56, Loretta, 50, and Caroline, 18, were discovered inside their Westchester mansion Friday morning at 11am by the family's housekeeper, authorities said.
Police would not reveal where the bodies were found or in what order the mom and daughter were killed.
This was not the first instance of violence between members of the Dym family in the Westchester home.
Dym's mother Paula was sent to a psychiatric hospital in 1992 after attacking his father Lawrence with a hatchet while he slept, USA Today reported.
Lawrence survived the incident and Paula was placed in a mental care facility.

A motive for the incident has yet to be reached by authorities, but the muti-million dollar mansion was reportedly up for sale which could indicate money trouble.
A neighbor told NBC 4 that the family's 4,600 square foot home, which is worth upwards of $1.5million is currently up for sale.
And another neighbor, Vito, told the New York Daily News he went to a tag sale at their home last month.
'He was having a big tag sale over here,' the 88-year-old said.
'He didn't know where he was gonna go. I asked him "Where are you going to move?" He said "I don't know yet. I haven't made up my mind."'

The wealthy businessman also had ties to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
In 2002, the Dyms donated $4,150 to Cuomo's failed gubernatorial campaign, according to The New York Post, and were thanked by the governor personally in his 2003 book 'Crossroads: The Future of American Politics.'
A Cuomo spokesperson told the Post he has not been in contact with the family for more than a decade.
'The acknowledgements in the book were to thank many past supporters from the 2002 campaign. The governor has not seen or heard of this person in 15 years,' said spokesman Richard Azzopardi.

The home, which is pictured from the back, might be up for sale, which could indicate money problems within the family

Steven and Loretta Dym's daughter, Caroline, was a student-athlete at Sacred Heart Greenwich.
Caroline was a golf-star at her school and excelled at her studies, taking second place in a regional science fair in February, according to the New York Post.
The family leaves behind a 20-year-old son William, who is currently in his third year at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
The Dyms were described as private people, with only whispers of a crumbling marriage beginning to emerge.
'I just heard they were getting a divorce,' said one neighbor who declined to reveal his or her identity. 'No one knows why.'
Eileen Rudnick, 55, told the Post that the violent episode has left her shaken.
'I want to tell you these things don’t happen often around here,' she said.
'Very surprised. Very sad. You know, just unbelievable pain.'
