Participants who died on hunger strike

Over the summer of 1981, ten hunger strikers had died. Their names, paramilitary affiliation, dates of death, and length of hunger strike are as follows:

Name Paramilitary affiliation Strike started Date of death Length of strike Reason for imprisonment
Bobby Sands IRA 1 March 5 May 66 days Possession of a handgun
Francis Hughes IRA 15 March 12 May 59 days Various offences, including the murder of a soldier
Raymond McCreesh IRA 22 March 21 May 61 days Attempted murder, possession of a rifle, IRA membership
Patsy O’Hara INLA 22 March 21 May 61 days Possession of a hand grenade
Joe McDonnell IRA 8 May 8 July 61 days Possession of a firearm
Martin Hurson IRA 28 May 13 July 46 days Attempted murder, involvement in explosions, IRA membership
Kevin Lynch INLA 23 May 1 August 71 days Stealing shotguns, taking part in a punishment shooting

The original pathologist's report recorded the hunger strikers' cause of death as "self-imposed starvation". This was later amended to simply "starvation", after protests from the dead strikers' families. The coroner recorded verdicts of "starvation, self-imposed".[39]

Other participants in the hunger strike

Although ten men died during the course of the hunger strike, thirteen others began refusing food but were taken off hunger strike, either due to medical reasons or after intervention by their families. Many of them still suffer from the effects of the strike, with problems including digestive, visual, physical and neurological disabilities.[40][41]
