Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, predeceased him.
He probably gave a little cough and then died.
Hamnet
William Shakespeare had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Susanna, born in 1583, was the eldest and later married John Hall, a physician. Hamnet, born in 1585, tragically died at the age of 11, and his death is often speculated to have influenced some of Shakespeare's later works. Judith, the younger twin, married Thomas Quiney and had three children, but her lineage did not continue beyond her grandchildren.
William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He died on April 23, 1616, also in Stratford-upon-Avon. His birth and death dates are famously celebrated on the same day, contributing to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest playwrights in history.
William the Conqueror, also known as William I of England, had nine children. His sons included Robert Curthose, Richard, and Henry, among others, while his daughters included Adela, Cecily, and Matilda. William's offspring played significant roles in the political landscape of England and Normandy following his death.

23rd April, the same day as William Shakespeares' bday and his death day(!!)
You would say "...is preceded..." if you note that fact at the person's time of death. "Was preceded" is how the obituary would be worded because it was written after the person's death. Both deaths would have happened in the past.
He was born on April 23, 1564 He died on April 23, 1616 Therefore the interesting thing about his death is that it is the same day as his birthday.
They are talking about the deceased and their relationship to the remaining surviving family members. (e.g.: John was "preceded in death" by his wife Joan.) In the example, Joan preceded John in death.
He died on his Birthday at age 52.
I think you mean "preceded in death" which means "died before" .
Oliver Cromwell's death
William Wordsworth lost his mother when he was eight years old. The children in his poem know death. They have lost two siblings.
