The New Orleans City Council impeached and removed Waterman from office on 3 June 1858. Henry M. Summers was appointed interim mayor, serving from 5 to 21 June.[3]
Waterman disappeared in June 1860, possibly committing suicide by jumping into the Mississippi River, where his hat was later found on a ferry on the river.[4]
