Yeah, I am pretty sure that it is March 30th. He died at age 37, I think. . . He did most of his painting in the last 10 years of his life when he lived in Arles France. He died from a self inflicted gun shot to the chest. He did not die suddenly. In fact, it took him about a day and a half. He concealed the wound.
