My vote has to go to Hurin, if for no other reason than in "Of the Ruin of Doriath" Tolkien writes "But it is said that Hurin would not live thereafter, being bereft of all purpose and desire, and cast himself at last into the western sea; and so ended the mightiest of the warriors of mortal Men."
I guess you could take that to mean several different things, but I'll use it in its literal form.
