Gulf Breeze, FL (Newsradio Pensacola) -- Gulf Breeze plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Brown's family has released a statement following his arrest earlier this week. The family says Brown continues to mourn his wife and calls the arrest "without merit." They say all safety and medical protocols were strictly followed the day Hillary died while having plastic surgery procedures done at Brown's office. Brown was arrested on Monday and charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence. Authorities say Brown waited before calling 911 after Hillary became unresponsive during the surgery. Brown has since bonded out of the Santa Rosa County jail, he's due back in court next month.
“Ben continues to mourn the death of his loving wife Hillary, and this arrest, which is completely without merit, only deepens his pain and grief. All safety and medical protocols were strictly followed on the day of Hillary’s passing. Ben is a conscientious, dedicated, and incredibly talented surgeon, and he is looking forward to presenting the actual facts in a court of law and clearing his name of this horrible accusation.”
