If you smoke crack, shoot smack and drink and smoke all the time and exhaust yourself on the road and neglect every aspect of your own health and well being it is going to catch up to you.. that is not a tragedy, that is the reality of it. You are bound to die if you live that self-destructive life.
People are throwing out the word tragic so much now it has lost its meaning.

You have a very weird definition of tragedy. A tragedy, in the dramatic sense, is "a medieval narrative poem or tale typically describing the downfall of a great man". I would say Amy Winehouse's life story could very easily be described as a modern tragedy.
