Who is an example of a tragic hero in the 21st century?

I know. We ve only had just over 15 years of the 21st century. But that s the assignment. (Hooray for high school English...)

Also, please read this short summary of a tragic hero as defined by Aristotle if you don t know the Greek definition of a tragic hero. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragic_hero)

It has to be a real story that most people would know. Thanks!

    Here is a very recent example from yesterday - An 11-year-old Afghan boy who had been praised for his bravery in leading security forces in battle against the Taliban was killed by the militants this week, Afghan authorities said.

    Wasil Ahmad had commanded a police unit for 43 days as it fought to repel a deadly 71-day Taliban siege last year, according to his uncle, an Afghan Local Police commander in the Khas Uruzgan district of Uruzgan province.

    Gunmen on motorbikes shot the boy in the head Monday at a market in Tarin Kowt, the provincial capital of Uruzgan province.
