tragic

The term used for any situation or character associated with having gone through the process of tragedy, such as defined by the early Grecian plays in which the hero, deemed "tragic," would go through a cycle of being successful, a downfall caused by pride, a quest of sorts, and finally a revelation in which he realizes what caused his downfall.

It is very tragic that the Titanic sunk.

tragerazzi

A news producer or photographer who stalks not celebrities, but rather tragic news victims. See tragertainment.

My brother Bubba got run over by a train while trying to copy a stunt he saw in "Jackass- The Movie". Next day there were fifteen news vans and tragerazzis snapping my picture and asking me to go on Good Morning America. The tragerazzi from The Enquirer offered me 15K for my dead brother's high school yearbook.
