Best Answer

Miguel de Cervantes died on the same date as Shakespeare, but not on the same day. They both died on April 23, 1616, but Cervantes died in Spain where they used the Gregorian calendar, and Shakespeare died in England where they used the Julian calendar. April 23 happened 10 days earlier in Spain, so Cervantes died 10 days before Shakespeare, even though they died on the same date.
