She Was Thrown Over Her Balcony
In February 2020, former sex therapist Amie Harwick was strangled before being thrown from a third-floor balcony, officials reported. Autopsy results showed that the primary cause of death was blunt force injuries to the head and body from a fall after an altercation.
Evidence of “manual strangulation” was also found. Harwick’s ex-boyfriend was charged with her death. Gareth Pursehouse, 41, was charged on one count of murder and one count of first-degree residential burglary. He is apparently eligible for the death penalty. Harwick was only 38 at the time, and it was revealed that she had filed a restraining order against Pursehouse.
