It almost seems as if all of the Noldor, or at least the Royal House of the Noldor, all died horrible, or at least unnatural, deaths.

Finwë --> murdered by Morgoth
Fëanor --> killed by a slew of Balrogs
Maedhros --> threw himself into a chasm of fire
Celegorm, Curufin, Caranthir, Amrod, and Amras --> all killed in pointless wars in Beleriand (and some say Amras was accidentally burned alive on one of the ships)
Fingon --> killed by Gothmog
Turgon --> killed in the Fall of Gondolin
Aredhel --> killed by Eol
Finrod --> killed on Tol Sirion
Orodreth --> killed in the Fall of Nargothrond
Angrod and Aegnor --> killed in the Dagor Bragollach
Celebrimbor --> killed by Sauron
Gil-galad --> killed by Sauron

Anyone else seen a trend here? Or is it the Doom of Mandos?
