He has a brother and sister, both eighteen years his junior, soon after their birth, their father, Louie, died of a heart attack, he was described as being a healthy man who did not smoke, rarely drank and in relatively good shape for his age. This was recorded as being a condition that ran through the family, weakened hearts and artery problems, notably in himself, his father and uncle. The usual childhood ailments appeared such as chicken pox and measles. Leaving school to join the Royal Academy Of Drama And Arts, he moved to Strathaven and took a position as a sales assistant to fund his courses. He later gave up acting to pursue a career in sales where he is currently. Being of an average frame, he did not drink and gave up smoking a year before any illness or conditions became apparent. In summer 2003 he began experiencing irregular chest discomfort, not any particular pains. Having had them for a few days, he consulted his G.P and was found to have some blockage of his main arteries feeding blood to the heart, deteriorating rapidly, William was brought into hospital and at 3am the morning after admittance, suffered a heart attack. Fortunately, being under supervision, survived and was transferred to intensive care for eight weeks, in which time he received a triple heart bypass and an artery valve replacement which stabilised his heart
