this is a case of rh negative pregnancy. if this would have been your first pregnancy then it wouldnt have been this outcome(missed abortion) as no sensitization would have occurred to Rh antibodies. again if you already have a rh +ve child and you had not taken anti-d prophylaxis then chances that this conception got affected (erythroblastosis fetalis) is high. so this is a possibility. if in the present pregnancy , heart beat is lost , then its better to undergo abortion by medical or surgical method and before contemplating pregnancy next time( after 3-5 months), get her anti-d titre done, which shall give an idea about the antibodies already present in her body.
