I've lost cories with the same symptoms as yours. In my case it seemed due to "new tank syndrome" meaning I had too many fish for my tank not because my tank is too small, but too new and the cycle was too fragile and easily disrupted with new additions.
How long has your tank been up and what are the nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia readings and the pH?
I have been doing 20%-50% water changes PER DAY quite often to adjust for ammonia and nitrite spikes. I have had perfect readings for days at a time, but this has been too easy to knock out of wack. Just once from cleaning gunk out of the impeller chamber of my filter--started me on a mini-cycle that claimed one of my cories.

In post #7 you say you have 0 nitrAtes--if this is so, the tank isn't cycled yet.
Also, it's kind of offensive to read "lol. he's dead." Even a poor little cory deserves more than a laugh over his demise.
