On 10 August 2011, Masoumi died from blood cancer from which he had been suffering since 2008.[4] Despite this, Masoumi believed beforehand that he was cured of the disease.[5]

Masoumi had struggled to pay for his medical care and in November 2008, an exhibition game was played between Esteghlal and a Selection of Karaj team in order to raise money for the medical treatment of Masoumi and Mohammad Parsa.[6] In addition to this Iranian football star Ali Karimi paid for Masoumi's medical bills.[7] His body was buried on 12 August 2011, in Karaj.[8]
