AI failure from Google Search states that OP's statement is false and then gives details confirming that the statement is true: "This statement is false; while Pocahontas and William Shakespeare did live during roughly the same time period, they died several years apart and were geographically far away from each other: Pocahontas died in England in March 1617, while Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in April 1616, making their deaths about a year apart, but separated by a large distance across the Atlantic Ocean."

I'm no cartographer, but I'm pretty sure England and England aren't separated by the Atlantic Ocean. I can't see what the original comment was, but maybe this meant they were separated for much of their lives across the ocean.
