Hollywood sex-therapist and ex-fiancé of comedian Drew Carey, Dr. Amie Harwick died after being found below a third floor balcony of her Hollywood Hills home, Saturday morning.
According to Los Angeles Police Department, 38-year old Harwick sustained injuries consistent with a fall.
LAPD has an ex-boyfriend of Harwick as a suspect for her death. The police stated that they responded to after receiving reports about a woman screaming in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Upon arriving at the scene, the late therapists roommate told them that Harwick was being assaulted inside her home.
The officers then proceeded to search the place and then found a gravely injured and unresponsive Harwick on the ground. She was then immediately transported to a hospital by the Los Angeles Fire Department where she died.
Per CNN, the LAPD reported that their investigation showed evidence of forced entry and struggle inside the home of the therapist.
Later in the afternoon, Harwick's ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, was arrested by the FBI-LAPD and according to jail records was being held on a $2 million bail. It is still unclear if Pursehouse has an attorney.
In the past, Harwick has filed a restraining order against Pursehouse after expressing fear about her former boyfriend. However, the restraining order had expired and LAPD confirmed that Harwick has seen the man two weeks before she died.
Meanwhile, Harwick's ex-fiance Drew Carey expressed his grief after hearing the news of her death.
