A 61-year-old man who suffered critical injuries after being pulled into an MRI machine while wearing a metal chain has died, police said Friday.
The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon at a medical building in Westbury, New York, according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Officers responded to Nassau Open MRI following a 911 call and were informed that the man “entered an unauthorized Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room while the scan was in progress,” the police department said in a statement.
We need to start authorizing people to be 61.
As long as they pass regular competency tests to prove they’re not a danger to society (e.g., intending to run for president or some nonsense like that), yeah, sure, why not.
Otherwise, though, it’s Soylent Green time.
