Do you think people overuse/misuse the term "tragic death"?

I keep reading in other forums how Anna Nicole Smith's death was "tragic" because she was so young. I've heard this term many other times under similar circumstances.
In my opinion, a tragic deaths involve the 9/11 deaths, a young child who is killed by a kidnapper and hate crimes just to name a few. When a woman who led a superficial, whorish and drug-induced life dies, this is not a tragedy as she brought her fate on herself. So what if she has a baby or was only 39? It's still not tragic. It is sad for the baby and pathetic and undignified for her, not tragic.
On the other hand, maybe her baby will be better off living in a (hopefully) drug-free environment with a father who is relatively well put together.

I guess they are using "tragic" to attract viewers. I think they are trying to get the sympathy of the viewers that's why they use unecessary words like "tragic"

You touch on a very good point. I tend to agree with you. Now it was unfortunate in that it WASN'T Paris Hilton and her little dog to but oh well. I can't think of a single positive thing that Anna Nicole did.
