This is a common claim made by creationists, but is absolutely not true. Darwin never recalled his theory of evolution, or became a theist (seeing as he was an atheist later in life) before he died. This is a false rumor promoted by non-scientific figures, and should not be taken seriously.

Darwin did, however, originally withhold publication of On The Origin of Species because of his religious wife.

Did Charles Darwin renounce his theory before dying?

There is no evidence to suggest that Charles Darwin renounced his theory of evolution before his death. In fact, he continued to write in support of evolutionary ideas and even published a book called "The Descent of Man" in 1871. Darwin's theory of evolution remains one of the most influential and widely accepted scientific theories to this day.

What did Charles Darwin say in his death bed?

According to Darwin's family his last words were: I am not the least afraid to die.Note that there are a number of urban legends claiming a deathbed religious conversion and/or denial of evolution. They trace back to an individual who spoke with Darwin more than half a year before he died. They claimed Darwin was reading the bible, but they never claimed Darwin converted or denied evolution. The story got distorted over the years. Darwin's wife and children were present at his death and they all firmly deny any conversion or recantation of evolution. Darwin's wife was religious and she would have been happy if he had converted. She clearly wouldn't have lied about it.

Did Darwin Repent?

If you're asking did Darwin have a "death bed" conversion, then the answer is no. The story originated from Lady Hope who claimed he had such a conversion. Darwin's daughter, who was present at Darwin's death, said that not only was Lady Hope not present, she didn't think that Darwin had ever met Lady Hope.
