The Punk Life and Death of Sid Vicious

Beginning of the End
By the fall of 1978, Sid and Nancy's lives had descended into a cycle of heavy drug abuse. On October 12, Nancy died from a single stab wound. Sid was the chief suspect, but due to drug use he had no memory of the night's events. In this photo, her body is removed from New York's Chelsea Hotel, where the couple was living in Room 100.
