Geelong woman Cori Glencross who kicked a pensioner at a bus stop has died after a seizure

The young woman whose sickening attack on a defenceless pensioner at a Geelong bus stop was caught on camera has died after suffering a massive seizure. Her mother says the 23-year-old was trying to “right the wrong” before her death.

Cori Glencross, who beat up a pensioner at a Geelong bus stop earlier this year, has died of a seizure.

A young woman who became infamous for beating up a pensioner at a Geelong bus stop earlier this year has died after suffering a massive seizure.

Cori Glencross was just 23 when she died suddenly late last month, following an epileptic fit.

Her mother Casey Donald told the Sunday Herald Sun Cori – who was filmed assaulting a 75-year-old woman on April 16 – was trying to turn her life around and “right the wrong” in the months before her death.

“She fully accepted that her behaviour at that time was wrong and she was almost at the point where her court cases were going to be dealt with,” Ms Donald said.

“She put her hand up and said ‘I screwed up’ but she was never going to be left alone. Even in death people are saying things like ‘rot in hell’ … I have received some terrible, vile messages.”

Ms Donald said Cori – who pleaded guilty to assault by kicking – had been diagnosed with an intellectual disability shortly before she died, and was finally set to receive the help she needed.

She pleaded with people to let her daughter rest in peace and for her grieving family to be left alone.

Cori’s daylight attack on the elderly woman in the middle of Geelong was filmed by one of her friends and the video uploaded to social media, where it quickly went viral.

At a hearing in July, Cori told the Geelong Magistrate’s Court her life was getting back on track, that she was living with her mum and hoped to pursue a career in hospitality.

But, she said debilitating epilepsy was causing her to have up to 15 seizures a day and she had recently fallen unconscious during a seizure in the shower.

Ms Donald said Cori had battled with epilepsy for most of her life.
