Supposed Death
In the first book, Flowers in the Attic, Cathy states that Cory became deathly ill. Cathy demanded Corrine take him to the hospital in which the grandmother agreed with Cathy. Cory does not return and Corrine states that Cory died on the way. This date was October 29, 1960.

Diary Series
In the Diary series it is revealed that Cory did not die. The original story that Corrine told, about making the children sick so she could get them out, is supported by the story that Cory has of being left at the hospital and being adopted by a man that just lost his grandson. Cory is known as William Anderson and would be the only surviving Dollanganger.
