In the movie Pirates Of The Caribbean...?

I think you're onto something...! Reading over the cast/credits for the next one (try imdb.com), there is someone listed as playing "Bootstrap Bill Turner", so he definitely lives! Can't wait to see the second one! =)

You've got a good point. Since it was 10 years I believe he had plenty of time 2 untie himself and walk 2 the nearest island. Unless, he was unable to untie himself so by the time the curse was broken he was still tied and so he died unlong with the other pirates.

It is unlikely that he is still alive. Unless he was somehow able to untie himself, which is the unlikely part, he died the second that the curse was broken at the end of the first film.

He was probably very surprised by his own drowning.

according to what i read about the Next Pirates of the caribbean..he's supposed to be coming back. so yes..bootstrap bill is still alive..lol.

I don't know.. Haven't seen it in a while but didn't Jack sparrow break the curse somehow? I forgot how but I think he did huh I'm gonna go watch it now lol

yes, he could possibly still be alive, but no he's not coming back. They've got a new villain...Davy Jones. Though I thought he was a cute Monkee!

you are right about the untying thing and i think he will appear in the next movie

if he does, the pirates are doomed. Watch II, maybe he'll show up

you know what, you are totally right!!!! i never asked myself that question... I 'll go see the second one, see what happens...it's released july 7th?

I will say it here first... he will show up in the new one, can't wait to see it!
