On what date did C.S. Lewis die in Oxford, England?

C.S. Lewis died on 22 November 1963, at his home in Oxford, England.

Lewis had experienced declining health in the years before his death, including a serious illness in 1959. He continued writing and corresponding despite these difficulties. His death occurred on the same date as the deaths of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and British author Aldous Huxley, a coincidence that is often noted in biographies of the period.

Lewis was 64 years old. He was buried at Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry, Oxford, where his grave remains associated with readers of his Christian writings and fiction. His brother, Warren Lewis, later helped preserve and publish material about his life.

Some accounts mistakenly connect Lewis's death date with the publication dates of his books or with the date of Kennedy's assassination alone. The date is firmly recorded in biographies and reference works as 22 November 1963.
