Margins and rumors about death
There are various narrations about the death of Hussein Sarshar. Sarshar disappeared for a while, and his family published advertisements for his disappearance in the newspapers. In 1995, the news of his death due to a car accident was published in Iranian newspapers. Official government sources say Alzheimer's disease and car crashes. But some have linked the deaths to a series of serial killings in Iran.

Mohammad Ali Keshavarz has said about his rich illness and death: "Hussein loved opera immensely, and when the opera was closed, his mental state changed and so it happened. In Ahvaz, he was kept in a psychiatric hospital and then he was cut here and a caregiver was left for him. He would go to Rudaki Hall every morning at 9 o'clock and shed tears. Another day they did not take care of him, he went under the car. "They did not pay any tribute to him."

Alireza Nourizadeh calls him one of the victims of the serial killings in Iran in his book Saffron Sauna. He is also said to have been killed because of his friendship with Ali Akbar Saeedi Sirjani, who was also a victim of serial killings in Iran.

Sources in the Islamic Republic of Iran say, "He was in poor financial condition at the end of his life and was suffering from depression. He developed Alzheimer's disease and returned after leaving home. "His family advertised in the newspapers to find him, but his identity was finally identified after his death at a psychiatric hospital in Abadan."
