Did Hamnet Shakespeare's death affect William Shakespeare?
It probably did, but if so it was not reflected in the plays which Shakespeare was writing at the time of Hamnet's death, viz. around 1596. Shakespeare was very close about his feelings and did not tell everyone about them (of if he did, they did not make note of it).

How did William Shakespeare's brothers die?
Because most children would die in those times, and the few that survived were very lucky, it is remarkable that all of Shakespeare's brothers lived into adulthood. (Three of his four sisters died as children, two at infacy and Anne at age eight) Shakespeare's brother Gilbert was a haberdasher in London an lived at least into his forties, but his date of death is not known, never mind the cause. It is often believed on the basis of a church burial register that he died in 1612, but there is some reason to think that that may have been a different Gilbert Shakespeare. About Richard Shakespeare nothing much is known besides the dates of birth and death; he lived all his 39 years in Stratford, and nobody knows his cause of death. Edmund Shakespeare was, like his oldest brother, an actor, but he died in London at age 27, possibly of the plague.

Was shakespear murdered?
There is no contemporary record of the cause of Shakespeare's death. Significantly, there is no record of any legal proceedings arising out of a murder. This contrasts sharply with the case of Christopher Marlowe, who WAS murdered, and the fact is well-documented. A somewhat later account of the cause of Shakespeare's death says he died of a fever brought on by excess drinking with Ben Jonson. This is the best evidence we have as to his cause of death.
