Actor Mike Heslin, whose acting credits included the Paramount+ series \u201cLioness\u201d and the Lifetime movie \u201cThe Holiday Proposal Plan,\u201d died at age 30 in June 2024. Now, his widower, Scotty Dynamo, has filed a wrongful death suit against the restaurant where his medical emergency began. <\/p>\n
On June 25, 2024, Heslin was dining at Javier\u2019s restaurant at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas when he suddenly collapsed. The lawsuit alleges, per KLAS<\/a>, that multiple ARIA and Javier\u2019s employees \u201cstood by\u201d and failed to begin an emergency response as Heslin\u2019s friends called for help. <\/p>\n After a woman began CPR on Heslin, an employee \u201cforcefully interfered\u201d and removed the woman from the scene, the lawsuit claims. <\/p>\n Dynamo\u2019s complaint accuses the Vegas eatery of putting \u201ctheir own interests ahead of\u201d Heslin\u2019s. Employees demanded that Heslin\u2019s friends delete video of the incident, threatened to have them arrested for trespassing, and removed them from the premises, the lawsuit alleges. Heslin died a week after he collapsed at the restaurant. <\/p>\n Dynamo is suing on five counts of wrongful death, loss of consortium, negligence, gross negligence, and negligent hiring, retention, training and supervision, per Us Weekly<\/a>. He is seeking $15,000 in damages. <\/p>\n NJ.com has reached out to ARIA for comment.<\/p>\n Dynamo announced Heslin\u2019s death via Instagram<\/a> in July 2024.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/b>Hallmark Channel actress dies at 84<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cOn July 2nd, my husband, best friend, and soulmate @mikeheslin passed away from an unexpected cardiac event after a week long battle in the hospital. Michael was young, in perfect health, and the doctors have no explanation for what happened,\u201d Dynamo wrote. \u201cMichael, meeting you was the best thing to ever happen to me. You are my world. You are everything to me. When I felt you take your last breath, my heart shattered into a million pieces. If I had the power to trade places with you, I would do it in an instant. But I will take it one day at a time like you always told me to, and live every day in your honor.\u201d<\/p>\n Dynamo also noted that he and Heslin were \u201cfour months shy\u201d of celebrating their \u201c1 year wedding anniversary\u201d when Heslin died. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
