In December 1951, the North Hollywood Hospital and Sanitarium supervisor told the Howard family that Curly was becoming a problem to the nursing staff at the facility because of his mental deterioration. They admitted they could no longer care for him and suggested he be placed in a mental hospital. Moe refused and relocated him to the Baldy View Sanitarium in [[San Gabriel, California]].<ref name="Scrapbook"/>

On January 7, 1952, Moe was contacted on the Columbia set while filming ''[[He Cooked His Goose]]'' to help move Curly for what would be the last time. This proved unsuccessful, and Curly died eleven days later, on January 18, 1952.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VY_j1vzWnasC|title=Jeff Lenburg, Joan Howard Maurer, Greg Lenburg - Google Books|isbn=9781613740859|via=books.google.ca|last1=Lenburg|first1=Jeff|last2=Maurer|first2=Joan Howard|last3=Lenburg|first3=Greg|year=2012|publisher=Chicago Review Press }}</ref> He lived the shortest life of the Stooges, dying at the age of 48.
