Shakespeares Death.

William Shakespeare died on April 23 1616, the day of his 52^nd birthday. The cause is unknown, but there are many theories on the cause of death. Shortly before his death, Shakespeare was drinking with some of his friends and he had a little too much, and is said to die of a fever resulting from the drinking. On March 25, a month before his death, Shakespeare wrote his Last Will and Testament. Many people are debating if he knew he was going to die soon, or if he just wrote this because he wanted to. Because he wrote his Will and Testament some people believe he knew he was going to die, but they do not have proof he knew this. William Shakespeare was buried at the Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon 52 years after he was baptized there. His tomb is under the church in the chancel. Shakespeare is believed to e buried 17 feet underground, but it has not been confirmed as Shakespeare didn’t want his body to be moved.
