Heart Attack Grill claims another victim

The Heart Attack Grill, the Las Vegas restaurant whose slogan proudly boasts that its artery-clogging fare is "worth dying for," appears to have claimed another victim.

Less than two years after its unofficial spokesman, 260kg Blair River, died of health-related causes, another loyal customer succumbed to a heart attack while standing at a bus stop in front of the establishment.

John Alleman, 52 - who like River served as a public face of the restaurant - was taken off life support earlier this week, three days after suffering his heart attack, according to the Las Vegas Sun newspaper.

I'll take the vegetarian option.

Newsflash: Burgers are fattening. More at 11.

Nothing to do with the particular restaurant, anybody who weighs 260kg is probably going to die early. This is like one of those 'school shooter once played Call of Duty for an hour when he was 12, ban violent video gamezzzzzz!!!!11one' stories.

I feel sick after eating a normal burger over there. Wouldn't even want to attempt one of those.

They were obviously doing it for the b**ches.

Best publicity campaign ever. Sooo much free advertising for the restaurant and there will always be people wanting to push the limits...

It doesn't even look tasty. I'm all for trying a crazy sized burger, but that looks like the cheapest ingredients possible just layered up.
