Sadly Hubert passed away on 29 December 1911 at age 24, unmarried, after taking his own life[2]:

Dublin Daily Express 01 January 1912, Pg 2:
BODY FOUND IN A LAKE
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) BIRR, Saturday.
A painful sensation was created at Ballingarry yesterday, when it became known that Mr. Hubert Roland Trench had committed suicide. It seems that the deceased gentleman had been ill for some time, but not to any serious extent. On Thursday night he appeared at dinner seemingly fairly well, but on Friday morning he was missing. A search was made, and from marks beneath his window, it was surmised he had dropped from his bedroom. After dragging an ornamental lake situated close to the residence, Sopwell Hall, the body was found clad in underclothes. An inquest was held last evening, when a verdict was returned that the deceased committed suicide whilst suffering from temporary insanity. Mr. Trench was the youngest son of the Hon. Cosby Trench, and was an athlete of considerable notoriety. He was only 24 years of age.[3]
Midland Tribune 13 January 1912, Pg 3:
The Late Mr H R Trench
The funeral of Mr Hubert Ronald Trench, of Sopwell Hall, whose death occurred under particularly sad circumstances at the early age of 25, took place on Monday to Ballingarry churchyard, when the chief mourners were - Hon Cosby Trench, D L, father; Captain Charles S M Trench, brother; Sir Richard Musgrave, Bart, uncle. The deceased's other two brothers, Edward C and Clive N, were in Vancouver.[4]

At the time of his death he was appearing in a play in Oxmantown Hall, Birr; the play was called "His Highness Prince Ching".

His will was proved with Administration on 19 February 1912 to the Hon. Cosby Godolphin Trench[5]. Effects: £1909 12s. 6d.
