The answer to this question, as posed, becomes circular. People who come to tragic ends somehow related to their religious faith are often regarded as "saints" or "martyrs." Other individuals who may be equally or more noble and pious, but have the bad fortune not to be killed for their faith, often are not recognized as saints.

An exception to the rule would be Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who was certainly saintly, noble and pious, but died a peaceful, natural death in her old age.
