PHOENIX — A 575-pound man who gained a measure of fame as spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill — a Phoenix-area restaurant that unabashedly touts its unhealthy, high-calorie menu — has died.
Friends of 29-year-old Blair River say he died Tuesday, possibly from contracting pneumonia after a bout with the flu.
Restaurant founder Jon Basso tells The Arizona Republic that River was more than the larger-than-life caricature he portrayed in promoting the restaurant in Chandler, which includes huge hamburgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard on its menu.
Basso says River was a creative genius who had been planning to take part in the shooting of a promotional spot called, "Heart Attack Grill: The Musical."
The 6-foot-8 River was an Arizona state heavyweight wrestling champion in 1999.

;D ;D ;D
A dude who used to be a bouncer at my university pub was around that size. At least 6'6 and well over 350 pounds with a similar shape. But he is still alive.
Out of curiosity, what does the restaurant think is the benefit to letting people who are 350+ eat free? Is it just a novelty to have such large people in there which makes the experience something akin to seeing a bearded lady = draws a crowd? Maybe people that size are too ashamed to claim the free food and don't do it very often out of social stigma.
