Michael Alig, a prominent promoter of New York City nightclubs in the 1990s, got into a heated argument over a drug debt with fellow “Club Kid” Andre “Angel” Melendez. Alig and his roommate, Robert “Freeze” Riggs, killed Melendez, dismembered his body in their bathtub and then dumped it into the Hudson River. Alig served 17 years in prison for the crime, which inspired the movie “Party Monster.” He died of a drug overdose in 2020.
