It has been said in many places, and by writers who cover soaps that it appeared the recast was not working out well. I don't know why they just did not send Will out to CA to stay with Sami, but evidently the decision was to have the character die. At the time the decision was made, EJ was gone, (the actor's choice), Sami was gone (actor's choice), Sonny was leaving (actor's choice) so it appears they went for the big shocker! They so rarely use Lucas, and just cannot seem to come up with any kind of story for him, so Will was not necessary.
In my opinion, once the decision was made to to write Will out, the show wanted to make sure there would be no return, as I think they were still ticked off at Chandler for telling the press before he told his bosses he was leaving. (Chandler himself has said it was a mistake on his part, and he definitely learned something from what happened. )
