The name of the three-year-old girl who tragically died in Corinth, New York, last week has been released. Joycelynn Ann Dylewski was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to a home on Main Street on Wednesday (February 19) due to reports of a child not breathing. She was later pronounced dead at Saratoga Hospital.
Her parents, Samantha E. Dylewski, 32, and Matthew J. Dylewski, 33, were arrested on Friday (February 21) and charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child. According to the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office, these charges relate to the alleged neglect of Joycelynn and her four siblings, all under the age of 16.
Saratoga County Undersheriff Jeffrey Brown stated that the investigation is ongoing, with autopsy and toxicology results pending to determine the cause of death. The couple was arraigned in Corinth Town Court and released to pretrial services.
Joycelynn's siblings have been placed with other family members, and a court order of protection is in place to keep them away from their parents. A GoFundMe page has been set up by Joycelynn's aunt to help cover funeral expenses. The family will gather for her funeral on Thursday (February 27) at Densmore Funeral Home in Corinth.
