He passed away on 19 May 1924 of accidental drowning in a Canal close to the family home. Older brother Bentley and William were playing at the canal when a wagon, too heavy for Bentley to pick up, fell on top of Willie penning him under water. Before Bentley could return with his mother Thelma, Willie had already passed.
