Daniel Silva was held responsible for this immensely unfortunate accident and was hence arrested as well. The arrest was with respect to the murder that was committed on 10t May, to which Silva pleaded not guilty. Daniel took a plea after he was made charges against with one count of the second-degree murder that had taken place. Daniel also entered a no-contest plea to one count. This was with respect to the one count of felony gross of vehicular manslaughter.
What’s more shocking is the fact that the accident happened the same day as La Barrie’s birthday and he had turned 25 that day. Corey’s family and friends were deeply hurting and took it to social media to state how Corey is loved and is being missed. Corey’s mother also stated that she is not able to describe the sadness that she feels at the moment and is in grief. She also expressed feeling overwhelmed and unreal. After the death of Corey, who was drunk at the time and Daniel who too had consumed alcohol, Corey’s family had filed a lawsuit that asked for compensation for damages.
