If you had a choice, would you rather smoke crack and drown in a tub, or eat banana-peanut-butter sandwiches and die on the toilet?
I ran this past some guys who've smoked crack, and they agreed the first is better.
If I had a choice -- and I do -- I'd choose C) Neither of the above.
Did you run it past guys who eat peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches and who own drugstores? Who can choose any kind of pill they want?
Tragedy -- in the classical sense -- happens because of something the protagonist of a story does that results in his or her own downfall. Usually a defect in character.
When a person with great talent and barrels of money does something that causes his or her death because they made a bad choice? It's not like being hit by a bus that jumped the curb.
Elvis's death was tragic. So was Whitney's. But they made the choice.
