Sheila Oakes, who is the mayor of Heanor in Derbyshire, made the comments on Facebook after the prime minister was admitted to intensive care.
The councillor - since suspended by Labour - said he "completely deserves this". She has since apologised.
Her employer, VHS Fletchers Solicitors, said she was "no longer employed by this firm in any capacity".
Ms Oakes worked as a paralegal at the firm's Ilkeston office.
As a result of her comments, the company said it had become "embroiled in criticism".
The local Labour Party has withdrawn the whip, and said there would be an investigation into Ms Oakes's conduct.
