Dr. Amie Harwick, a well-known Hollywood family and sex therapist, was killed Saturday at her home in the Hollywood Hills, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“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 LAPD said in a statement this evening.
When officers arrived, Harwick’s roommate met them in the street and informed officers that she was being assaulted. The roommate had escaped by jumping over a wall and going to a neighboring residence to call for help.
Responding officers found Harwick gravely injured on the ground beneath a third story balcony, police said. She suffered significant injuries consistent with a fall and was unresponsive. She was rushed to an area hospital, where she died from her injuries.
The investigation revealed possible evidence of a struggle upstairs as well as forced entry into the residence, police said.
