Bootstrap Bill was not killed per se by the pirates. They strapped a cannonball to his bootstraps and threw Bill overboard( recall the story told by one of the pirates( the bud of the fake-eyed one)).

He sunk to Davy Jones' Locker in other words.

The curse makes you immortal, but not omnipotent. All these years, poor Bill was stuck at the bottom of some forsaken seabed unable to move or get free. I can imagine what were his last thoughts when the curse was finally broken.

"What?! I'm choking! Ack!"

ADD] As to why not just retrieve him from the seabed, understand that the curse does not make you invulnerable. It could be a very deep seabed, or they just forgot where they dumped him.
