Will Taylor’s (Dean Andrews) met a tragic end in Emmerdale after he suffered a heart attack on Christmas Day.
The popular character was hellbent on destroying wife Kim Tate (Claire King) by playing her at her own game, working with her former financial advisor Peter to bring her down.
Peter, however, was in cahoots with Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), who famously has an axe to grind with Kim after she forced him to leave the village six years ago.
Operation Destroy Kim Tate took a turn as, after Kim was injured on Christmas Eve, Will came to realise that he’s still deeply in love with her and therefore called the whole thing off.
But it was too late, with the wheels firmly in motion as Joe arrived at Home Farm to dob him in to Kim, detailing her husband’s secret plot.
Will tried to explain himself, urging Kim to give him another shot, but things took a devastating turn, with Will left clutching his chest after suffering a heart attack as he fell to the floor.
Kim watched on, much like she did when previous hubby Frank Tate suffered a heart attack in 1997. The question is: does Will die?
Is Will Taylor dead in Emmerdale and how did he die?
Yes, Will is dead in Emmerdale.
Following his collapse to the floor, Kim failed to believe that Will’s life was in danger. Joe, however, returned to Home Farm and told her that her husband was, in fact, suffering a heart attack.
