After four years in the role, Brady decided to quit "Neighbours". She said that Cody had been "great fun to play", but it was time to move on. In 1996, Cody was shot after a drugs bust in Ramsay Street goes wrong. She was hit by a stray bullet as police tried to apprehend the drug dealers. The situation was described as being perhaps one of the most disturbing events to have ever occurred in Ramsay Street. Cody was left in a critical condition and she was taken to the hospital, where she underwent surgery. Cody's mother flew down from Darwin to be by her daughter's bedside, but Cody later died. Months before the storyline was due to air in the United Kingdom, the Dunblane massacre occurred and the BBC were urged not to show the scenes, which had been labelled "inappropriate and insensitive."
