He died on April 23, 1616. We don't actually know what day he was born, but he was baptised on April 26, 1564. They usually had baptisms a couple of days after the baby was born, so he could have been born on April 23. So therefore we answer your question with a cautious maybe and celebrate April 23 as Shakespeare's birthday because it's as good a guess as any.

He died three days before the 52nd anniversary of his baptism, April 26, 1616. Since he was baptised on the 26th, people think he might have been born on April 23rd in 1564, exactly 52 years before he died. Or maybe not. We'll never know for sure.

More or less. We know that he was born shortly before April 26, 1564 when he was baptised. It could have been April 23. He died April 23, 1616.
