Personally, I think it also has to do with the level of empathy a person has and how sensitive he/she reacts to different situations. For example, if a person had a high level of empathy, they could easily be depressed and/or angry upon witnessing tragic events whether on a TV show or video-game because of how closely they can relate to a character's feelings and the actions done unto them. Whilst with sensitivity, people have various ways of reacting to situations like those mentioned above, and can greatly add to the impact of a already depressed person from their empathy.
But then again, most females tend to fit into that same cliche'd mold of being much more open with their feelings than when compared to males. But this is only when assuming the conditions of "false" tragedies on TV and in video games. However, in more real-world conditions, much like the deaths described in this thread, people feel a much greater impact to their soul; thus being the "key", so to speak, of unlocking their true feelings.
