We construct infinitely many compact, smooth 4-manifolds which are homotopy equivalent to S2 but do not admit a spine (that is, a piecewise linear embedding of S2 that realizes the homotopy equivalence). This is the remaining case in the existence problem for codimension-2 spines in simply connected manifolds. The obstruction comes from the Heegaard Floer d invariants.
