4. Sid Vicious And Nancy Spungen
Who says that romance has to be conventional? Sid Vicious was a member of the Sex Pistols, that punk rock band from the late 70s that took the music world by storm before they broke up in 1978. Sid joined the band in 1977, and from that moment on fame and heroin got the best of him. On October 12, 1978, his girlfriend Nancy Spungen was found dead, at the age of 20 at New York’s Chelsea Hotel. The couple had been living there for over a month. On that day Sid called the front desk informing them that something happened to his girlfriend. And indeed something very serious did happen. She was dead from multiple stab wounds to the stomach. Vicious (who was born John Ritchie) was immediately arrested for her murder. The investigation was dropped however, when Sid Vicious was found dead 3 months later, by his mother no less, from a heroin addiction. Few fans believe Sid was the killer, after all Nancy was no angel herself having created quite a few nasty enemies at such a young age. Many believe Sid was passed out at the time and had no clue what had just happened. Either way it doesn’t seem like authorities are going to come up with a different theory any time soon.
