In 1994, Zulkarnaen went into bed rest due to heart disease, and underwent surgery in February 1994 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.[1] After returning to Indonesia, he was hospitalized in March 1994 at Pertamina Central Hospital.[1] His condition began to deteriorated that year, and he was unable to speak and only use a sign language to communicate.[1] On 10 March 1995, Zulkarnaen died at his daughter's residence in Kalibata, South Jakarta, due to heart disease at the age of 55.[1] The night before his death, several film figures such as Dewi Yuli, Deddy Mizwar, Ida Leman, Camelia Malik, and Harry Capri came to visit him.[1]

His funeral was held at Tanah Kusir Cemetery and was attended by thousands, such as members of Parfi and Gabungan Artis Nusantara.[1] At the funeral several film figures provided eulogies, including Rima Melati, Widyawati, and Misbach Yusa Biran.[1]
