Bodenheim and Ruth Fagin (his third wife) were murdered February 6, 1954, at a flophouse at 97 Third Avenue in Manhattan, by a 25-year-old dishwasher, Harold "Charlie" Weinberg. They had befriended him on the streets of the Village and he offered to let them spend the night in his room a few blocks from the Bowery. Weinberg and Ruth had sex near the cot where the 62-year-old drunken Bodenheim appeared to be sleeping. Bodenheim arose, challenged Weinberg, and they began fighting. Weinberg shot Bodenheim twice in the chest. He beat Ruth and stabbed her four times in the back. Weinberg confessed to the double homicide, but said in his defence, "I ought to get a medal. I killed two Communists. Weinberg was judged insane (sociopathic) and sent to a mental institution.

Writer & friend Ben Hecht offered to pay for Bodenheim's funeral. Bodenheim's ex-wife, Minna Schein, made arrangements to have him buried in her family plot in Cedar Park Cemetery, Emerson, New Jersey.
