Lennie dies when George shoots him in the back of the head during the final chapter (chapter 6). George shoots Lennie to spare Lennie from being lynched by Curley and his mob. Curley is an angry, violent man who wouldn't listen to reason (reason being - that Lennie never meant to kill Curley's wife, and that her death was purely an accident), and also because he wants revenge since Lennie busted his hand.
