Corey died February 8, 1997 while performing a stunt at the Orange Bowl stadium in Miami, Florida. He was supposed to drive his motorcycle off a ramp and land into a net that was hoisted high into the air. Scott was suppose to grab the net upon hitting it, but he missed and fell 60 feet to the ground. He landed on his head and broke his neck. He had performed the stunt only four times before with no problem. Corey was 28 years old.
