Snooker legend Willie Thorne has died at 66 after a short battle with leukaemia. The English former professional had been put into a coma on Sunday suffering from respiratory failure while receiving treatment for his leukaemia.
But sadly the former world No.7 passed away while listening to his children tell him how much they loved him. Thorne had been struck down by his cancer diagnosis in March and suffered several health issues since in his rented flat in Alicante.
