Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen died at his country home near Munich on the 10th of February 1923. He was suffering fron intestinal cancer.
Wilhelm Roentgen was conducting an experiment and found that invisible cathode rays produced a fluorescent effect under certain circumstances. This led him to produce what we know today as X-rays.
He repeated his experiment because he wanted to make sure that it worked perfectly before describing the results to others.
He discovered X rays, for which he received the first Nobel Prize for physics in 1901. He observed that barium platinocyanide crystals across the room fluoresced whenever he turned on a Crooke's, or cathode-ray discharge, tube, even when the tube was shielded by thin metal sheets. Roentgen correctly hypothesized that a previously unknown form of radiation of very short wavelength was involved, and that these X rays caused the crystals to glow. He later demonstrated the metallurgical and medical use of X rays which later brough a revolution the medical science..
Some important scientific discoveries made during this period include the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895, the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson in 1897, and the discovery of radioactivity by Marie Curie in 1898. These discoveries laid the foundation for advancements in fields such as physics, medicine, and nuclear science.
He invented the x-ray in 1895. X-Rays were not "invented", they were discovered. The exact date of discovery was Nov 8, 1895.

X-rays were discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (27 March 1845 - 10 February 1923) on 8 November 1895, when he produced and detectedelectromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range.
