Bishop Heather Cook, who killed cyclist Tom Palermo in an accident in Baltimore last year, has received a formal Restriction on Ordained Ministry from the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop, Rt Rev Katharine Jefferts Schori.
After the accident on December 27, it emerged that Cook had a long-standing alcohol problem including a previous conviction for drink driving, and that she was suspected of being drunk at her own consecration.
