What did Shakespeare almost die in the year of his birth?
We do not know that Shakespeare "almost died" of anything when he was born. We do know that there was a plague epidemic in Stratford that year (from the burial records which listed the cause of death in one case) and a lot of people died from it between July and December, but it did not affect Shakespeare's family. There is no record that Shakespeare or his parents caught the disease, and it seems unlikely.

Was shakespear murdered?
There is no contemporary record of the cause of Shakespeare's death. Significantly, there is no record of any legal proceedings arising out of a murder. This contrasts sharply with the case of Christopher Marlowe, who WAS murdered, and the fact is well-documented. A somewhat later account of the cause of Shakespeare's death says he died of a fever brought on by excess drinking with Ben Jonson. This is the best evidence we have as to his cause of death.
How did Shakespeare's brothers die?
Because most children would die in those times, and the few that survived were very lucky, it is remarkable that all of Shakespeare's brothers lived into adulthood. (Three of his four sisters died as children, two at infacy and Anne at age eight) Shakespeare's brother Gilbert was a haberdasher in London an lived at least into his forties, but his date of death is not known, never mind the cause. It is often believed on the basis of a church burial register that he died in 1612, but there is some reason to think that that may have been a different Gilbert Shakespeare. About Richard Shakespeare nothing much is known besides the dates of birth and death; he lived all his 39 years in Stratford, and nobody knows his cause of death. Edmund Shakespeare was, like his oldest brother, an actor, but he died in London at age 27, possibly of the plague.
