A Ferndale police chaplain and gay-community church pastor is under fire after a man overdosed and died at his house during a sex-and-drug party.
Steven Michael Fitch, 43, of Lincoln Park died about 5:30 a.m. Sept. 21 at the Rev. Mark Bidwell’s house in the 2700 block of Burdette, according to a police report obtained by the Daily Tribune under the state Freedom of Information Act.
Before Fitch died he injected Bidwell and himself with methamphetamine, known as “crystal meth,” and they had sex. Fitch later went to a gay online website and arranged to have a third man, 28, of Mount Clemens, join them at the house, police reported.
In a new incident, an item in the Ferndale police log on Tuesday shows a call was made from Bidwell’s house for emergency service. Police confirmed Wednesday that Bidwell was hospitalized as a result of the call and is expected to recover.
