Heather Cook
Heather Elizabeth Cook (born September 21, 1956) is a deposed bishop of the
Episcopal Church in the United States. She was a
suffragan bishop in the
Diocese of Maryland until her resignation from the position in 2015. In September 2015, she pleaded guilty to
vehicular manslaughter, having killed Tom Palermo while driving under the influence of alcohol and fleeing the scene twice, and was sentenced a month later to seven years in prison. She was deposed from ministry and therefore unable to perform public ministry; however, her ordinations cannot be undone according to
Anglican sacramental theology.
