Shakespeare died April 23, 1616. However the cause of his death is not clearly known. Germaine Greer, in her book Shakespeare's Wife speculates that he may have died either from syphilis or from the side effects of the cures administered for syphilis, which involved ingesting Mercury and other poisonous heavy metals.
