Has to be the death of Thingol.
I know it's not canon, but the published version just works so much better than any of the treatments JRRT himself wrote.
"So died in the deep places of Menegroth Elwe singollo, King of Doriath, who alone of all the Children of Illuvatar was joined with one of the Ainur; and he who, alone of the Forsaken Elves, had seen the light of the Trees of Valinor, with his last sight gazed upon the Silmaril."
Sob!
