Well, that depends on who you believe Shakespeare to be. It you would like to know how the man from Stratford, known as Guillimus Shakespere, died, then he died in 1616, one month after writing his will. He was 49 years old. We can assume from this that he was gravely ill and his death was expected. There was no fanfare.

If you believe Edward deVere was the real Shakespeare (there is evidence to this effect.)then the following quote from Shakespeare's Self-portrait by Charlton Ogburn may be of some use.
"In Sonnet 81 the poet recognizes that "I, once gone, to all the world must die." In 1603 he was in fact facing the end, for in Sonnet 107, unmistakably referring to events of that year, and surely written no later he says that "death to me subscribes." Oxford died the next year. "
