Heart Attack Grill claims another victim.

The Las Vegas-based Heart Attack Grill appears to be living up to its ill-fated name.

John Alleman, the unofficial spokesman for the hospital-themed fast food chain, suffered a heart attack last week and was taken off life support Monday, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

Alleman was 52.

Restaurant owner “Doctor Jon” Basso told the Sun that Alleman was a regular fixture at the eatery, famous for its high-calorie menu that boasts a record-breaking 9,982-calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger.

According to Basso, Alleman would stand outside the restaurant doors for hours, talking with customers and coaxing others to come in.

The owner even said to the guy "you're going to drop dead if you keep eating this food every day.".
