The physical things that you note - well, depleting them would mean death or unconsciousness and collapse, so that is a definite limit on will-power. On the other hand there are many cases of individuals dying while crawling home or resisting torture until death.
In terms of parameter inheritance - is there science on this? Are some humans predisposed to have less will power than others?

In the cases you outline, doesn't it simply mean that for those persons one critical life system failed before the willpower one did? (whatever the latter's form may be)
