He died on April 23, 1616. This is an interesting date because it is St. George's day and St. George is the patron saint of England. It also may have been Shakespeare's 52nd birthday, but there is some doubt as to whether he was born on April 23.

What day do scholars think shakespeare was born?

Shakespeare was baptised on April 26, 1564. He was in all likelihood born less than a week earlier. The date of April 23 is plausible and has the added merit of allowing Shakespeare's date of birth be the same as his date of death and of allowing him to be born on St. George's day, since St. George is the patron saint of England.
