Garfield was active in social causes, and he was a member of the Communist Party. This caused him to be targeted by anti-communist groups during the McCarthy era, which ultimately led to him being blacklisted and unable to find work. Garfield's health also declined during this time, and he died on May 21, 1952, at the age of 39 from coronary thrombosis.
