While it is not known what he died of it is know that he died on April 23rd 1616 and his burial was two days later on the 25th his tomb is in a church at Stratford-upon-Avon. While some people think that his will was written more as something poetic it was a just like any other will and a legal document. Shakespeare left his estate to his eldest daughter Susanna and he left 300 pounds to his daughter Judith, in the will he left little to his wife by law she would get one third of the estate but all that is left to her is his second best bed and the furniture.
