The case has variously been described as murder, suspicious, unexplained and an accident.
To this day it remains one of the most perplexing deaths ever investigated by police in Glasgow.The 29-year-old was from Dundee but living in Clydebank at the time with his girlfriend.He died of severe head injuries and was found in National Bank Lane off St Vincent Street at around 5am on August 4, 1989, by a young male passer-by, who immediately alerted police.
They questioned people who knew Billy, including those who had been in his company on the night of his death. The spot where he was found was known for assaults and robberies of gay men who had been lured there in the past.At that time, he was living with his girlfriend in Clydebank and not known to the gay community.
They thought that it was on the fifth occasion that Billy sustained the injury that caused his death.But their request for a fatal accident inquiry was turned down given that there was still an ongoing police investigation. To this day no one has been publicly identified as being responsible for causing the injuries from which Billy died.
