Amie Harwick, Drew Carey’s Ex-Fiance, Murdered – Ex Boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse Arrested
Dr. Amie Harwick, Hollywood sex therapist and ex-fiance of Drew Carey, was killed at her home on Saturday, and an ex-boyfriend has been arrested in her death, officials said.
Harwick’s ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, 41, was arrested in connection with her death. She had filled a restraining order against him, but it had expired. Police said they had seen each other in the weeks leading up to her death, and Harwick had recently expressed fear of him.
Harwick, 38, was found on the ground unresponsive below her third story window. Police said her injuries were consistent with a fall. She was brought to a hospital where she later died from her injuries.

“On Saturday, February 15, 2020, around 1:16 a.m. Hollywood patrol officers responded to a radio call of a ‘woman screaming’ in the 2000 block of Mound Street in Hollywood Hills,” the Los Angeles Police Department said on Sunday.
Harwick’s roommate was able to escape the apartment to call for help and meet the police officers outside to tell them Harwick was being assaulted.
An investigation showed a possible forced entry to the apartment and a struggle upstairs.
On Sunday, Hollywood’s Twitter users mourned the loss of their friend and therapist:

I am utterly heartbroken. And angry. I knew Amie when she made the choice to go to school to be a therapist. She loved helping others. She told me about this ex and her frustrations. Devastated. She deserved so much better. https://t.co/s2ME3mLyUv
