Best Answer

William Shakespeare stopped writing professionally in 1613, three years before he died. There has been no reason given for his stopping when he did. Many people erroneously believe the death of his son, Hamnet, was the reason, but Hamnet died 17 years before Shakespeare stopped his work. Shakespeare was 52 when he died - which was 17 years past the life expectancy of a Londoner in that time period due to all of the diseases (plague, syphilis, typhus, scurvy, tuberculosis, smallpox, malaria, dysentery) of that era.
