Antony & Cleopatra: Is Enobarbus' death equally as tragic as the title chars.?

In The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra, General Enobarbus, A's right-hand man, dies of heartbreak when he learns that Antony has forgiven him despite his defection to Octavius Caesar's camp. Since Enobarbus is a life-long friend of Antony's, and has been loyal to him despite his recent folly, is his death equally as tragic as those of Antony and Cleopatra themselves? An interesting argument for the "yes" point of view would be extremely helpful.
