According to a recent article from the Elliot Institute, although the Centers for Disease Control are charged with the responsibility to keep track of deaths due to abortions, as they are other important health related data, they fall far short of their duty for unknown reasons.
Needed as all data is needed for future reference and research, keeping accurate records of deaths caused by abortions would tell researchers information that might give women better guidance on the safety of the abortion process as opposed to giving birth in higher-risk pregnancies.

Further, Crist apparently discussed the case at a seminar attended by the person whose job it was to tally abortion deaths for the CDC:
Latachie was 17 years old, and 22 weeks pregnant, when Robert Dale Crist performed an abortion on her at Houston’s West Loop Clinic November 2, 1991. According to Latachie’s family, she bled heavily at the clinic, and cried out to the staff for help. They told her that her symptoms were normal, and sent her home.
