Gareth Pursehouse — the man accused of murdering Drew Carey‘s ex-fiancee, Dr. Amie Hardwick — once cracked a joke about “Game of Thrones” that now seems especially unnerving.
Harwick’s alleged killer — who allegedly attacked her in her home and caused her to fall from a third-story balcony — posted his “joke” on Instagram in May 2019 … about the famous ‘GoT’ scene from season 1 where Jaime Lannister pushes Bran Stark out of a window.
Pursehouse’s pun is more about the incestuous relationship between Jaime and his sister Cersei, but the fact it involves someone falling from a great height to their presumed death is certainly creepy.
We broke the story … cops say Harwick was found unresponsive underneath a third-story balcony, with injuries consistent with a fall. She was taken to a hospital where she later died from her injuries.
Pursehouse was arrested for murder Saturday afternoon. He bonded out of jail Tuesday evening after being held on a $2 million bail.
Harwick and Pursehouse dated years ago, and as we reported … she filed for 2 restraining orders against him in 2011 and 2012, claiming he attacked her multiple times and once threw her out of a car on the side of the freeway.
Detectives learned Harwick had recently expressed concerns about an ex-boyfriend — who she once had a restraining order against — causing her harm.
