'The Price Is Right' on Hold Following the Death of Drew Carey's Ex-Fiance
The Price Is Right has postponed production following the death of host Drew Carey’s ex-fiancée Amie Harwick. “In light of the passing of Amie Harwick, we have postponed production this week,” Kristina Kirk, vice president of communications, at Fremantle tells PEOPLE. Fremantle produces and owns the television game show.
Carey spoke out about Harwick’s death on Monday after she was killed following a fall from a balcony after an alleged attack from her ex-boyfriend. “She was positive force in the world, a tireless and unapologetic champion for women, and passionate about her work as a therapist. I am overcome with grief. I would like to thank you in advance for giving myself and everyone who loved Amie privacy while we try to work through this tragic situation,” Carey added. The Price Is Right host Carey proposed to Harwick, who authored The New Sex Bible for Women. The couple ended their engagement later that year.
On Saturday at 1:15 p.m., police responded to the 2000 block of Mound Street in Hollywood Hills on an alarming call of a “woman screaming,” the Los Angeles Police Department revealed in a press release obtained by PEOPLE. When officers arrived on the scene, they were met by Harwick’s roommate on the street, who told police that she was being assaulted by an ex-boyfriend.
Police then went to check the residence and found Harwick, a well-known therapist, unresponsive, lying on the ground beneath a third story balcony. Officers shared that Harwick was “gravely injured.”
“She suffered significant injuries consistent with a fall,” police said in the press release. Warwick was later transported to a nearby hospital where she later died. She was 38.
Hours after the assault, police arrested the suspect (Harwick’s former boyfriend) 41-year-old Gareth Pursehouse in Playa Del Rey. He was charged with murder, police said in the press release. Pursehouse is currently being held on a $2 million bail, according to inmate records, and a scheduled court appearance is not immediately available.
