The circumstances behind both their deaths are eerily similar.

Not even close. Look at how much it is being talked about in sports media. That is how much Di's death was talked about across all major networks for weeks. Especially since they could talk about the horrors of the paparazzi.

There were far too many circumstances relating to Princess Di than Kobe. Tragic mistakes happen. Princess Di could have been completely avoided. Too much conspiracy with that as well.

Both of them died from stupid mistakes.
Sure Diana was being chased by those piece of shit paparazzi, but it's been reported that none of the people in the car were wearing seatbelts, including the bodyguard who was the only survivor.

Since we're throwing other celebrities in the mix here, I'd like to remind everyone that nothing beats Elvis. His death was so shocking and depressing that people to this day still carry on the running joke that he never really died (bonus points for his name being an anagram of 'lives'), not to mention the spawning of an entire subculture of dedicated impersonators.

Diana was a once in a lifetime news story, and it's sad because that aura around her is what caused her death.
