Christopher Brady from Dublin : contracted TB and died 2 months after release
Jack O'Reilly : suffered acute anaemia and died in 1917
Thomas Stokes of Enniscorthy : died of an illness caught at Frongoch
William Halpin of Dublin ; tried to slit his own throat; committed to Grangegorman where he later died
Daniel Devitt escaped 4th August 1916 and was found wandering the Welsh countryside. He had suffered a breakdown and walked out of camp unchallenged rather than trying to escape.
Mention is made of a Padraic O' Maille escaping with help from a girl but it appears he may have been moved to another location.
Dr Peters, the local doctor who visited the camp, took his own life on 14th December 1916.
