William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564 His birth is assumed to have occurred at the family house on Henley Street. Shakespeare's christening record dates to April 26 of that year. Because christenings were performed within a few days of birth, tradition has settled on April 23 as his birthday. This date provides a convenient symmetry because Shakespeare died on the same day, April 23 (May 3 on the Gregorian calendar), in 1616.

Shakespeare's precise birthdate is not known; he was baptized on 26 April 1564, and over time 23 April has become the accepted date of birth, in part because he also died on 23 April in 1616

23rd April is said to the date of birth as well the date of his death. I have always been curious to know about the people who die on their date of birth. The father of my colleague died on his birth day. She said that she visited her father in the morning and again rushed back to his house, when she learnt about the heart attack that he suffered, to which he eventually succumbed later. In many cases, some body in old age, on a birth anniversary, when many dear ones, are likely to assemble to greet him, become overwhelmed with emotions and due to stress and strain on the day, they are more likely to die. I recollect another instance in Chennai, when a college girl died in an accident, due to an eve teasing incident, died on her birth day. Another important political leader in Tamil Nadu, who died on the date of his birth day is Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar. His date of birth and date of death is 30th October. This gentleman is said to have been released from jail and convalescing an illness. He died on the date of his birth. He was a confirmed bachelor and had a spiritual bent of mind. He was and still is regarded as a demi-god. On every 30th October, celebrated as Guru Puja, all political parties make a bee-line to his samathi, (memorial-burial ground), to register their respect to the leader, so as to win over votes of the people who owe allegiance to the departed leader and his party.
