Loved ones speak out following death of Montreal business owner Codey Daly

There isn’t a day that goes by that Noa and Jayden say they don’t think about Codey Daly and what led to his death. Almost a year later, they’re still trying to put the pieces together.

Daly, 29, was killed last August after his friend was reversing his car, with a boat in tow, into his driveway and hit him.

Codey was found crushed between the garage door and the vessel.

After the incident, Alexander Paliotti was arrested, but later released, with a promise to appear in court. In March, he was charged with impaired driving causing death.

“I didn’t believe at the start; it really felt unreal knowing that I didn’t have a brother that was alive anymore. It felt terrible,” Codey’s brother Jadyn Pawsey told Global News.

Though the case is far from being closed, Codey’s loved ones say they’re speaking out about the tragedy in an effort to save other lives.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving CEO, Steve Sullivan, says though there has been progress in the number of cases of impaired driving across the country, there are still far too many people choosing to drink and drive and far too many people who die because of it.

Paliotti was due back in court on Thursday.
