British actor William Rush, 31, died on Dec. 17. He was 31, and his family did not release a cause of death. The son of Coronation Street actress Debbie Rush (and brother of actress and singer Poppy Rush), William had a bit part in Shameless, then got a supporting role in TV’s Grange Hill. He went on to appear in Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Street, Casualty, Vera, and Friday on My Mind. He was best known for the school drama Waterloo Road, as gay teen Josh Stevenson. Rush also turned up on an episode of his mum’s Coronation Street (she played “Anna Windass,” a name that makes me giggle like an eight-year-old). Rush was also a talented singer, appearing on The X-Factor in 2016. Waterloo Road actress Katie McGlynn posted, “Will brought a smile to everyone’s face and was a very kind soul.”
