Just like with his birthday, Shakespeare's exact date of death is a mystery. It is commonly said that he died on April 23, 1616, at age 52, but no record of his death exists, only a record of his funeral on April 25, 1616. While no one knows what Shakespeare died of exactly, he was sick before his death.
