“The Price Is Right” tapings have been postponed following news that host Drew Carey’s ex-fiance was killed last week.
Family and sex therapist Amie Harwick, 38, was found Saturday morning at her home in Los Angeles with injuries consistent with a fall. She later died at the hospital. Her ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse has been arrested as a suspect, according to CNN.
Carey mourned Harwick’s loss and said he’s “overcome with grief.”
“Amie and I had a love that people are lucky to have once in a lifetime,” Carey said in a statement that Variety obtained. “She was a 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.”
“Price is Right” production company Fremantle confirmed that this week’s scheduled tapings of the game show will be postponed in light of Harwick’s death. Since the show records episodes months before they air, the delays won’t affect CBS’ lineup this week.
