Deathbed conversion

The Baptism of Constantine, as imagined by students of Raphael
Oscar Wilde
After Charles Darwin died, rumours spread that he had converted to Christianity on his deathbed. His children denied this occurred.

A deathbed conversion is the adoption of a particular religious faith shortly before dying. Making a conversion on one's deathbed may reflect an immediate change of belief, a desire to formalize longer-term beliefs, or a desire to complete a process of conversion already underway. Claims of the deathbed conversion of famous or influential figures are commonly used as rhetorical devices, but are rarely verifiable.
