575-pound Heart Attack Grill spokesman dies

[Tonyank]

Blair River was a big guy with a big heart.

River, who stood 6-foot-8 and weighed about 575 pounds, gained a measure of fame in the past year as spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill, a west Chandler restaurant that specializes in thick hamburgers and fries. He died on Tuesday at the age of 29.

The cause of death is currently unknown, but friends are speculating that it was the result of his contracting pneumonia after a bout with the flu.

But at least he got to eat for free for the past 175 lbs. I'm sure eating fries cooked in lard had nothing to do with his early demise.

Somepeople leave their eyes, lungs or heart to help others.

With the current oil shortage, ya think we could drain him like a whales blubber and make candles?

The cause of death is currently unknown...

Really? It seems pretty obvious to me.

Heart Attack Grill is an unabashedly unhealthy restaurant - the menu consists of huge burgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard - and having such a big man as a spokesman was part of its tongue in cheek "glorification of obesity."

Huge burgers and lard are both perfectly healthy fare.

Huge burgers and lard are both perfectly healthy fare.

If consumed with extreme moderation.... say - one or twice a day


The guy knew what he was doing - So hey, what to eat your life away? Be my guest. Before long who knows what the restriction's on food & drink will be in this country.

Not in the quantities he was eating them in if he went almost 6 bills . . .

His friends can speculate all they want, but the cause of death was eating way too much fucking saturated-fat-laden food.

When one balloon dies, all balloons die.
