Cowley fu poi colpito da Baby Face Nelson e Purvis andò a fargli visita in ospedale poco prima che morisse. Purvis venne elogiato per le sue azioni<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>, ma, secondo quanto si dice, provocò l'ira di Hoover, che l'aveva precedentemente sostenuto, poiché Purvis chiese e ottenne pubblicità per il proprio ruolo, mettendo in ombra Hoover ed il resto dell'FBI. In un libro del 2005 co-scritto dal figlio Alston Purvis, Hoover è ritratto come geloso delle attenzioni date a Purvis dopo l'uccisione di Dillinger<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>. </p><p>Uno dei meriti delle imprese ufficiali di Purvis è stato successivamente messo in discussione, in quanto la descrizione della morte di Pretty Boy Floyd vede Purvis e i suoi agenti ucciderlo senza alcun intervento della polizia locale; ma successivamente questa versione viene smentita dall'ufficiale locale Chester Smith e Hoover più tardi dichiarò che Smith aveva sparato per primo. Smith dichiarò inoltre che Purvis e i suoi agenti non spararono prima che Floyd fosse interrogato da Purvis; a quel punto Purvis ordinò all'agente Herman Hollis di sparare a Floyd, che era ormai a terra. Tale dichiarazione è stata negata più tardi dall'agente dell'FBI Winfred E. Hopton, che sostenne in un articolo del Time del <a href="/wiki/1976" title="1976">1976</a> che le forze dell'ordine locali arrivarono solo dopo la morte di Floyd. Tuttavia, le autorità locali convennero che fu Chester Smith a sparare effettivamente a Floyd. Nessuna rivendicazione è stata chiaramente dimostrata in un modo o nell'altro. </p><p>Purvis si dimise dall'FBI nel <a href="/wiki/1935" title="1935">1935</a>, a soli 31 anni, e in seguito esercitò la professione legale.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Nel <a href="/wiki/1937" title="1937">1937</a> si fidanzò con l'attrice Jarratt Janice, ma non si sposarono mai<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>.

Gli autori Curt Gentry e Anthony Summers, nelle rispettive biografie del '900 di Hoover, affermano che egli era inizialmente favorevole a Purvis, ma poi divenne geloso della sua fama dopo la cattura di Dillinger e, dopo averlo degradato, lo avrebbe spinto a lasciare l'FBI. Durante la <a href="/wiki/Seconda_guerra_mondiale" title="Seconda guerra mondiale">seconda guerra mondiale</a> prestò servizio come ufficiale nei servizi segreti dell'esercito, raggiungendo il grado di <a href="/wiki/Colonnello" title="Colonnello">colonnello</a>. </p><p>Il 29 febbraio <a href="/wiki/1960" title="1960">1960</a>, mentre era nella sua casa a Florence, nella Carolina del Sud, Melvin Purvis morì per un colpo di pistola alla testa inferta dall'arma datagli dai colleghi quando si dimise dall'FBI. L'FBI studiò il caso e lo etichettò come suicidio, anche se il medico legale segnalò di non aver trovato elementi sufficienti per definire la causa della morte come tale. In seguito fu stabilito che la morte di Purvis potrebbe essere stata accidentale, con il colpo partito mentre tentava di estrarre un proiettile tracciante inceppatosi nella pistola<sup id="cite_ref-pbs_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pbs-14"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>.
