A State Attorney for Anne Rundle County, Maryland, has referred an abortion death case involving abortionist Romeo A. Ferrer to the local Police Homicide Unity for possible criminal investigation.
On February 3, 2006, 21-year old Denise Crowe went to Ferrer’s Gynecare Center for a second trimester dilation and evacuation abortion in her 16th week of pregnancy. She was given a fatal overdose of meperidine, a narcotic also known as Demerol. The patient’s vital signs were not properly monitored, and resuscitation efforts were inadequate. Ms. Crowe’s death left her 3-year old son motherless.
For years, Crowe’s death was concealed from the public. However, on April 7, 2010, the Maryland Board of Physicians filed a petition against Ferrer for “failure to meet the standard of quality care” in his negligent treatment of Ms. Crowe that resulted in her death. That case is still under consideration and could take months to resolve. OR
