(Gibson) Just before lunchtime on October 12, 1978, the Chelsea Hotel in New York City would become the site of one of rock and roll's greatest tragedies. Sid Vicious, of Sex Pistols notoriety, and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen had retreated into reclusive heroin-fueled oblivion as Vicious' rock and roll persona finally caught up with him and all around him.When a hotel worker went into Room 100 of the Chelsea Hotel he discovered a half-dressed, blood-covered body of a young woman lying on the floor, a deep wound in her stomach. The bed was also covered in blood. The hotel called an ambulance police and searched the room, discovering drugs, drug paraphernalia, a blood-stained hunting knife and Nancy's boyfriend Sid wandering the hallway in a state of confusion. Sid's story of events was inconclusive. According to the crime report, he said they had been in a fight the night before and he'd fallen asleep with Nancy playing with a knife on the bed. When he awoke the bed was wet with blood. He later claimed: "I stabbed her but I didn't mean to kill her. I loved her, but she treated me like [expletive]." - more on this story
