Both Harry and his brother Walter were plagued with ill health, in particular problems with their lungs.<ref name="Costigan and Cullen" /> Clarke was diagnosed with [[tuberculosis]] in 1929, and went to a sanatorium in [[Davos]], Switzerland.<ref name="Andrews and White" /> Fearing that he would die abroad, he began his journey back to Dublin in 1931, but died on 6 January 1931 in [[Chur]] where he was buried. A headstone was erected, but local law required that the family pledge to maintain the grave 15 years after the death. This was not explained to the Clarke family and Harry Clarke's remains were disinterred in 1946 and reburied in a communal grave.<ref name="Andrews and White" /><ref name="Bowe" />
