Three of the four Todt family members from Colchester — killed in their Florida home sometime in December — were stabbed, preliminar­y autopsy documents released Thursday indicated.

Megan Todt, 42, and her two sons — Aleksander Todt, 13, and Tyler Todt, 11 — were each stabbed, according to WESH, a broadcast station in Florida.

The mother — who graduated from Sacred Heart University with a Bachelor of Science in 1999 and again in 2001 with a master of science — was stabbed twice in the upper abdomen, the autopsy documents showed.

Aleksander and Tyler were each stabbed once in the upper abdomen. There was no evidence of injury to 4-year-old Zoe, WESH reported.

The documents released Thursday did not list a cause of death for any of the Todts.

The four Todts — along with the family dog, Breezy — were found dead in the family’s

Celebratio­n, Fla., home on Jan. 13. Officials said they were all found in one of the bedrooms of the home.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigat­ing their deaths, has arrested the patriarch of the family Anthony Todt. He has been charged with four counts of homicide and one count of animal cruelty.

Authoritie­s said Anthony Todt confessed to the killings. He’s being held in Osceola County jail without bail.

The preliminar­y autopsy documents indicated, according to WESH, that the four family members were found in the early stages of decomposit­ion.

Toxicology results are still pending and can often take weeks.
