The 14-year-old Sarawakian boy was a trainee in the national hockey development programme (NHDP).
He complained about feeling uneasy after taking his bath and collapsed in his room at the Perak National Sports Council hostel around 7am.
According to Free Malaysia Today, a post-mortem revealed that he died of a brain haemorrhage.
It was Bill’s dream to play for the national team, according to Malaysia’s longest-serving hockey goalkeeper S Kumar.
Kumar said he took a liking to the happy boy whom he first met at the goalkeeping skills clinic he conducted.
Bill realised his biggest dream to take a picture with his idol Kumar on Saturday before passing the next day.
