A New Jersey surgeon who allegedly “cheered” Charlie Kirk’s murder has resigned — and the nurse who was suspended for calling him out has been reinstated, their hospital said Tuesday.
Dr. Matthew Jung of Englewood Health quit after Wednesday’s troubling incident — which went down moments following the news of Kirk’s tragic assassination.
“We have accepted the physician’s resignation,” a representative from Englewood Health told The Post.
Jung allegedly openly celebrated news of Kirk’s murder in front of the hospital’s nurse’s station – and defended his words when nurse Lexi Kuenzle then questioned how a person whose job is saving lives could ever cheer for death.

Kuenzle later posted about the situation on social media and was suspened — but the hospital now says she has been reinstated.
“The nurse is expected to work her scheduled shifts,” the Englewood Health rep said — disputing reports that Kuenzle had been fired or suspended without pay.
“The nurse was never fired; was never told she would be fired by Englewood Hospital; and will not miss any pay as part of our review of this matter,” the representative said.
“Englewood Health is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all.”
Kuenzel has already filed a lawsuit in Bergen County Superior Court against the hospital, Jung and others claiming she was wrongly suspended.
