During his imprisonment, he participated in several hunger strikes. On December 14, 1975, Stagg embarked on a hunger strike in Wakefield Prison, seeking repatriation to Ireland. He died on February 12, 1976 after 62 days on hunger strike. His burial caused controversy in Ireland, with Republicans seeking to have Stagg buried in the Republican plot in Ballina, while the Irish government, supported by members of the Stagg family including Emmet Stagg, wished to have him buried in the family plot in the same cemetery and to avoid Republican involvement in the funeral.
