Answer:

William Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616, his 52nd birthday. In truth, the exact date of Shakespeare's death is not known but assumed from a record of his burial two days later, 25 April 1616. The last months of Shakespeare'slife were embroiled in scandal after his daughter Judith's husband, Thomas Quiney, was brought before the church court at Holy Trinity. Thomas was made to do penance for getting another women pregnant who then died in childbirth - a likely reason behind Shakespeare rewriting his will on 25 March 1616. Within weeks of writing his new will, William Shakespeare was dead.
