Blair River, 575-pound spokesman for Heart Attack Grill in Arizona dead at 29

The nearly 600-pound man who gained fame as spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill –a Phoenix-area restaurant that prides itself in serving excessively unhealthy food – is dead at the age of 29.

Blair River's official cause of death is currently not known, but friends say he contracted pneumonia after a bout with the flu. He died on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-8, 575 pound man is being remembered as an energetic, creative, gentle giant.

"Cynical people might think this (River's death) is funny," the restaurant's founder Jon Basso told the Arizona Republic. "But people who knew him are crying their eyes out. There is a lot of mourning going on around here. You couldn't have found a better person."

At the Heart Attack Grill, scantily-clad women dressed as nurses unabashedly serve its customers high-caloric food. The menu touts its 8,000-calorie quadruple bypass burger, “flatliner fries” fried in “pure lard,” a “butterfat shake,” and no-filter cigarettes.

2. That's sad. But I don't get the 'scantily clad women'

What's that got to do with the restaurant pushing high calorie food?

Weird

4. They're dressed as sexy nurses

To add to the atmosphere of bad health=good and pleasing. SMH you only get ONE body, people. Just one.

People that go to restaurants like that think the only good-tasting food must be bad for you and that healthy food is always disgusting, so the women dressed like nurses are another reminder of how unhealthy everything is and how health-concerned people would say they're damaging themselves, but they like to rebel in that way.
