William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616, and Miguel de Cervantes died on April 22, 1616, one day apart! Shakespeare's date of death is generally listed as May 3rd, but this is because during Shakespeare's day, a Julian calendar was used, but when it was adjusted to a Gregorian calendar, the day of his death was changed from April 23rd to May 3rd.
