Students gathered together in the stadium during lunch on Tuesday, May 11 to say farewell to senior Cody Bishop.
Cody passed away on May 9 after being taken off life support following a car accident May 6. Cody was heading eastbound on Ray Road turning left into the Fry’s shopping center when a driver headed westbound on Ray, traveling 80-90 mph struck him.
According to police, Steven Landrum, the driver of the other vehicle, was intoxicated during the time of the accident. Originally, Landrum was arrested on the charges of aggravated assault, but it has since changed to manslaughter as a result of Cody’s death. Penalties of manslaughter can include up to 21 years in prison.
Corona students and friends of Cody organized the balloon release.
Services for Cody Bishop will be held on Friday, May 14, at the Arizona Community Church. Visitation for students will be at 10 a.m. with the memorial service to follow at 11 a.m. Students must bring a note or be called in by a parent to excuse them from school.
