 Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7

On October 11th Sid and Nancy were looking to score, how much it cost was irrelevant, they just needed their shit now. The word was out and 2 dealers apparently supplied and Sid an d Nancy sunk into the oblivion they both craved. Sid awoke in the early hours of the 12th to find his beloved Nancy dead in the bathroom, killed it seemed by one of his knives. Sid hysterical called for an ambulance, the hotel called the police. Soon after Sid was arrested and charged with the murder of the only person he had ever connected with after Johnny, his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. The money which was stashed in the bottom drawer was never found.

 

Sid was sent to Rikers prison on remand, his bail set at $50000 this was raised by Virgin following pressure from Malcolm and the promise of a new Sid album. Warner Brothers raised the money for a legal team and Sid was released on bail. Full of confusion and sadness over the death of Nancy Sid tried to commit suicide on October the 22nd, to Sid there was really no future for him without Nancy. Following a period in hospital Sid was released to the care of his mother.

On a night out soon after Sid and his new friend Michelle Robinson, Sid got involved in a fight and found himself back in Rikers. In prison over Christmas Sid was again released on bail on February 1st. Sid headed to Michelle's flat with his mother and a group of friends. Sid took heroin at the flat and collapsed. The others in the flat managed to get him around. Latter that night, Sid took some more heroin and by the morning he was dead.
   
On February 7th Sid was cremated, later that same week his mother scattered his ashes over Nancy's grave. Sid wrote these words while in Rikers for his Nancy:


You were my little baby girl
And I shared all your fears
Such joy to hold you in my arms
And kiss away your tears
But now your gone there's only pain
And nothing can do
And I don't want to live this life
If I can't live for you
To my beautiful baby girl
Our love will never die.
