Hallmark star Michael Heslin dead at 35 after tragic Vegas trip where staff allegedly failed to perform CPR
Movie star Michael Heslin died suddenly after suffering a heart attack during a birthday trip to Las Vegas — when the restaurant failed to swiftly perform CPR, according to a new lawsuit.
The actor, who starred in the Zoe Saldana series “Lioness” and TV movie “The Holiday Plan” suffered the medical emergency in June 2024, when restaurant staff allegedly failed to perform any life-saving measures, according to a new wrongful death lawsuit filed by his husband on Sept. 18.

Staff at Javier’s Restaurant at the ARIA Hotel on the Strip allegedly “forcefully interfered” to stop a diner from performing potentially life-saving CPR, despite Heslin “exhibiting obvious signs of a medical emergency,” according to the lawsuit seen by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Restaurant staff also allegedly failed to retrieve an automated external defibrillator (AED) on hand.
Heslin’s friends, meanwhile, were “forcefully removed” from the building as the Hallmark actor was dying, the suit claims.
The lawsuit alleges five counts of wrongful death; loss of consortium; negligence; negligent hiring, retention, supervision and training; as well as gross negligence.
