Nephew to Tennis Superstars Venus and Serena Williams Dies of Suicide
Alphonse, who had been battling depression and also had bipolar disorder, was said to have taken an overdose of unknown medication.
An autopsy report will clear the cause of his death. “It’s going to take six to eight weeks for the coroner to find out what he bought,” Sabrina said.
The 21-year-old boy was the son of Sabrina Williams, 57, who is Serena and Venus’ half-sister from their father, Richard’s first marriage.
According to The Sun, Alphonse, 21, never met his globally famous aunties or his grandfather Richard because of a family feud. Richard walked out of his first marriage with Betty Johnson leaving behind five children when Sabrina was eight years old.
Alphonse died by suicide on February 3rd. He was recently diagnosed with Peyronie’s disease, which causes the curvature of the penis. Sabrina told The Sun that Alphonse attempted to take his life two years ago as well.

Sabrina noted that her father never showed any interest in her family or her sons, neither did Serena or Venus, therefore she would not waste her energy in trying to contact them.
