The Curse

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2005)

How could Boot Strap Bill die (ie not cursed), when the rest of the crew of the Pearl was left to be cursed?
in the movie, Boot Strap Bill, seems to have given his son (Will Turner) a gold coin, part of the cursed treasure... when Will is discovered floating in the water Elizabeth takes the coin from his necklace. We later discover that the crew of the pearl is cursed and cannot die. Why is it that BootStrap is not cursed and left to a similar fate. Instead we are told that he is already dead!
I would love to have someone help me with this failure in plot logic.
Thank you.
