A Manhattan jury today found 27-year-old Nicholas Brooks guilty of murdering his former girlfriend, the swimsuit designer Sylvie Cachay. The prosecution said Brooks had strangled and drowned Cachay in a bathtub at New York's tony Soho House after Cachay dumped him in 2010.
Joseph Brooks, who won an Oscar for writing the hit "You Light Up My Life," was found dead in his Upper East Side apartment yesterday. He suffocated himself with a plastic bag and left a long, rambling note that stated he would be cleared of the sexual assault charges he was facing.
The city medical examiner has determined that designer Sylvie Cachay, found dead earlier this month at Manhattan's posh Soho Hotel, was strangled and drowned to death. Her boyfriend Nicholas Brooks has been charged with attempted murder in the case.

24-year-old Nicholas Brooks was arrested last night for attempted murder after his ex-girlfriend, swimsuit designer Sylvie Cachay, was found dead in the Soho House hotel. Cops believe he strangled her, but they can't prove this killed her, yet.
33-year-old swimsuit designer Sylvie Cachay has been identified as the woman found dead in a bathtub at Manhattan's posh Soho House hotel. Just hours before her body was discovered she dumped her boyfriend, the privileged son of an Oscar-winning composer.
