Deaths of Sid and Nancy Leave Many Unanswered Questions, 40 Years Later

In the 1970s, New York City was crumbling, bankrupt and riddled with crime, but it was where the punks felt most at home. They were defined by their disheveled wardrobe and anarchist attitudes. Two well-known punks, one-time Sex Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, lived in the Chelsea Hotel. When Spungen was found dead of a stab wound in their room, Vicious was charged with her murder, but the case would never get the resolution many had hoped for. #InsideEdition

It’s speculation that his mother killed him.

[@everettgarrett4858]

She shot him up at 5 years old. The dope was paid for by the British government. It was cheaper to prescribe and buy addicts heroin then methadone or dolophine as it was still called then. His mother made it deathbed confession to her nurse who was a well-respected woman that she did give him a hot shot so his mother did murdered him!

Sid couldn't even wipe his own a$$, let alone a knife.

[@robotjeans]

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that.

[@SkyyPiano]

I used to think that too, until I read into the facts of the case. When Sid woke up, he cleaned the blood off Nancy, THEN went to the methadone clinic before calling the cops. That doesn't sound like the action of an innocent man. We know that he had likely sobered up by the time he woke up, hence he went to the methadone clinic. So why did he clean the blood off and wait so long to call the cops? To get rid of evidence, I presume.

No way in living hell did Jon aka Sidney kill Nancy I believe she had enough and need her own pain for personal reason and the last thing she ever said to me and how it was said. Two days later my phone rang again I was a young girl being told not o turn the tv on and that she was killed. My god father was an officer and even said no way could he have killed Nancey and to be so upset. To date I visit her grave her mom does as well.

[@heatherhillman1]

For what it's worth, I never thought Sid Vicious was guilty. He was devastated by her death and he never recovered. It's actually quite sad watching that last interview, he was so scared that he had done it and didn't remember. Since he was the only suspect the police ever considered, it seems unlikely that he would have been acquitted and I think he knew that. But the fact that the knife had been wiped clean of fingerprints has always been a red flag to me. If Sid was so out of it that he killed her in some drug fueled rage, he would not have had the wherewithal to wipe off the knife. That was someone with intent to cover their own tracks and frame Sid.

[@andchat6241]

One problem being the 'crime scene' was contaminated & was treated as a 'Murder by sid vicious site' - a problem with 'the wiped knife ' is i hadnt heard of this until a recent 'Sid is Innocent' documentary. Could someone point me to a factual statement by police or pictorial evidence ? A detective filmed at the time (used in the G RnR S) says 'she had a knife sticking out of her side.( from a one inch deep wound?). if the knife was wiped it wouldn't help Sids defence in saying that she may have stabbed herself. I believe he did accidently or petulanty knife her ,but believe he would have been found not guilty of murder ,due to lousy detective work ,money was almost certainly stolen from the room & he would have had a good defence team - who may well have got an 'death by accidently wounding ' charge

[@johnf.kennedy7956]

@@andchat6241 I think it was likely a drug rip gone wrong. Maybe a desperate junky or two breaking into the room needing a fix and things got out of hand with Nancy.

Sid probably knew more but also knew he couldn't say anything and he was being set up for the fall. My guess would be past due dealers coming to "collect" to even Malcolm himself being involved. Malcolm was a snake and was even set out to profit off Nancy's death prior to Sid following her to the afterlife. Who benefit the most

The Chelsea hotel actually changed the numbers of all their rooms as they could no longer handle the stream of visitors wanting to see the place where Sid and Nancy stayed. They considered it a terrible event and wish that fans would leave it alone.

[@kimbeatty174]

Deborah Spungen (Nancys Mom) wrote a wonderful book called "And I Don't Want To Live This Life." The title is a line from a poem that Sid wrote for Nancy after her death, which he sent to Nancys mom in a letter from jail. Anyway the book talks about how Nancy was from a baby all the way up to when she died. It also details what Sid & Nancys relationship was like when they visited the Spungen home. It's pretty graphic in it's details. It's a really great read and gives amazing insight to Nancys rages and outbursts, which apparently had plagued her from birth.

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

Sure.i read this book as well, sounded like a mum that gave up on her kid by intoxicating her with barbiturates at bedtime rather than attempting a more healthy coping mechanism…..hey but if the baby too had colic,even I myself,was given little spoonfuls of Creme de Menthe .Which yes it’s alcohol,kiddos. However,this was back in the 1960s I believe Nancy was born round this time……BUT BARBITURATES EVERY SINGLE NITE ? Ah okkk mummmy Dearest not Nearest.I always felt close and had a lovely relationship with my own mum. Plus after the colic was more tolerable of course THE SMALL SHOTS WERE D/C . Though I do have a lifelong birth defects including GI issues ] A lot of boomer” babies I’m guessing “ had birth defects or issues of some sort of thing, mums just wanted to sleep the nite. Hence,giving the child a sedative” would also help mum ….MOTHERS LITTLE HELPER”

Rip Sid Vicious and Nancy we hope they find each others 💕

[@BloodAndGutsTV]

Given that the hotel had a bad reputation and there was certain corridors you couldn't walk down without being mugged, its so obvious that someone else killed her. People knew they were rich or at least thought they were rich and a perfect target to steal from, especially because they were always so out of it. However Nancy was usually more level headed than Sid and that may have taking any robber by surprise so they stabbed her quickly and took whatever they could. Sid was so out of it, he didn't even know what had happened or if he had done it. He couldnt remember a thing and was probably not even conscious before it happened. When the investigators said he was suspect because he was the only one in the room, well DUH... The attacker is hardly gonna stay in the room and given that Sid was passed out, I don't think he should of been treated like a suspect. Another thing that possibly happened is that they owed drug dealers and Nancy didn't have the money on time. Maybe they lied and promised some big money, exploiting the Sex Pistols fame or yes, it could have been a suicide pact. I read Nancy's mothers book and Nancy always spoke about wanting to die and I think she even asked Sid to kill her. But apparently Sid was also abusive on drugs and bit her ear once and it needed stitches. He also dangled her out a window according to her mother.

The way I see their relationship is like this, one is the dynamite, one is the match, separately they’re okay, but together they exploded. I think they both just brought out the worst in each other and egged each other on

@@jenniferandre3247 Nice that you all have such a romantic, no-nothing notion of Sid, but might want to read up on him. Troubled, violent guy from childhood - tortured and killed a pet cat, as a teenager threw a bottle at a woman in a bar and blinded her in one eye. Did he kill Nancy? No idea. Was he capable of it? Certainly.

The fact the prints on the knife were wiped clean indicates he didn't do it. He wasn't bright enough to wipe prints off a murder weapon, plus wasn't he out of it, so how could have he done it?

[@theverminmediaareyourenemi5612]

can't forget where I heard, they were partying, shooting up with all kinds of unsavory types, some had the idea to rob them later in the night, which is what happened and Nancy got stabbed for it. When Sid woke up from his Narco sleep, he was classically framed.

They call Sid and Nancy story "anti-Romeo and Juliette" but the stories end the same with knives and drugs

[@jorgebersabe293]

Anti Romeo and Juliet? I would say that they were Romeo and Juliet from the Punk Music. Romeo and Juliet weren't in love, they were obsessed with each other. It was never a love story, but a satire about teenage lust and a cautionary tale about romanticizing young love.

Read the book too, Nancy's mother said right from birth Nancy cried for hours as if in pain or anger. As a toddler and young child everyday was a struggle. Teenage years an absolute nightmare. Nancy leaving home before her 18th birthday was a relief to the entire family. The book, I felt, was written with understanding and love by Nancy's mother.

It was absolutely amazing but I must disagree- no, it wouldn't have been better with social media. We had our ways of doing things back then. We liked being an underground subculture and doing things in somewhat subversive ways. We stuck our middle fingers up to anything corporate. We had 'zines with secret mailing lists and pretty much invented indie record labels and that whole independent way of doing things to get your band or art or whatever you did, seen and heard by the people you wanted to be seen and heard by, but definitely NOT the "masses". Any punk I ever knew would not have wanted anything to do with social media. Seriously. We were loners and misfits. We liked it that way. Most of us didn't even have TeeVees or telephones! We positively loathed that sort of thing. Matter of fact- Many old punks have tattoos that proudly spell out the word "ANTISOCIAL""

Nancy's mother speculated that Nancy may have manipulated Sid into ending her life. According to her mom, Nancy had dealt with mental health issues (and had fallen through the cracks) her entire life and had been suicidal since she was young. Her story is actually heartbreaking. Her mother wrote about Nancy's life and her family's struggle to find help for her in the book "And I Don't Want To Live This Life".

[@shellshocced]

check this out. if they described sid as stupid and moronic then why would he wipe down a knife. especially while intoxicated. they also mentioned there being money in the room. did vicious is a celebrity at the time and nancy “wanted him for his money or whatever” so i think someone went for the money and nancy tried to stop it so she got shanked and sid didn’t hear anything

[@CaptainTae]

Comparing Sid to Manson is pretty absurd.

[@HelloKitty-wi1jl]

I think it went down very similar to the scene in the movie Sid & Nancy. I think Nancy could have gone for help otherwise..... The wound was not that bad but she wanted to die and she didn't want to be saved. It took her awhile to bleed out and die. She went into the bathroom when she could have gone out of the room screaming for help. Sid had that note in his pocket saying they had a death pact. Not only that he told the police he did it because he was a "dirty dog". He did it. And she could have survived but she didn't want help and she waited it out until she bled to death. The end.
