....On the morning of October 12th, responding to a report of a domestic dispute, police entered a Chelsea Hotel room and found Sid's girlfriend and Sex Pistols groupie Nancy Spungen...... clad in blood-soaked bra and panties, crumpled under the bathroom sink, dead of a single, deep stab wound to her abdomen..... Sid, in a drugged haze, was charged with her murder and released on $50,000 bail......Ten days later, Sid attempted suicide... slashing the full length of his forearm with a knife and reportedly screaming, "I want to be with my Nancy! I want to be left alone!"....
Before Sid had passed on... (Aproxamitley 4 or 5 hours) he had written a poem on a crumpled peice of paper entitled "Nancy"....

Nancy,
to my departed love:
You were my little baby girl,
And I knew all your fears,
Such joy to hold you in my arms,
And kiss away your tears,
But now you're gone,
There's only pain,
And nothing I can do,
And I don't want to live this life,
If I can't live for you.

...Sid's mother had him cremated, and against the wishes of Nancy's parents, she climed the graveyard wall and scattered Sid's ashes on the snow over Nancy's grave....
