Harwick, a well-known therapist and author of The New Sex Bible for Women, was murdered on Feb. 15, 2020, by her former boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse. She was 38. According to reports, Pursehouse threw Harwick off the balcony of her Hollywood Hills home. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
A Love Lost Too Soon
Carey and Harwick were engaged before ending their relationship in 2018. However, they reconnected just days before her tragic death. Carey revealed that Harwick reached out to him, expressing her desire to meet up.
In an emotional reflection, Carey said he texted her to say he loved her and looked forward to seeing her. He later learned from one of her friends that his message moved her to tears. Carey admitted that he was still madly in love with her, even though they were no longer together.
The day after he sent that heartfelt message, Harwick was murdered. The tragedy devastated Carey, leaving him emotionally shattered. He confessed that the pain of losing her was so overwhelming that he hasn’t been able to date since.
Unable to Move On
Friends close to Carey revealed that he has been unable to open his heart to anyone else. A source shared that Amie’s murder crushed him, and he feels as though his heart is broken forever.

Despite his heartbreak, Carey has continued his career as the host of The Price Is Right, maintaining his professionalism on-screen while privately mourning the love he lost.
