Question:

Name a famous person who died lonely and/or broken hearted.?

I need the name of a famous person who was known to have died lonely, longing for an unrequited love perhaps. Someone who was notoriously unlucky in love, who perhaps lived out a long, lonely life pining for a love that never materialized.
Preferably, a writer/author or film star... 10 big fat points to the person with the most helpful name(s)! THANKS!

Fr㩤㩲ic Chopin, "The Father Of The Piano", and genius composer of music for the piano lived a very lonely and sad life.

He had a turbulent 10-year relationship with the French writer George Sand (Baroness Dudevant) from 1837 to 1847. She refused to come to visit him when he was on his death bed, although he sacrificed his health by following her to Majorca where the weather exacerbated the progress of his disease. She treated him cruelly and with distain, breaking his heart.

Always in fragile health, he succumbed to pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 39. IMHO,the greatest composer who ever lived.
