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.

    I wouldn’t trust people to tell the truth. People are idiots. I hope they also use metal detectors.

    Wouldn’t want a doctor or nurse getting a prince Albert to the eye because the patient was too embarrassed to mention it.

      People who have PA’s are not too embarrassed to mention them. 15 years is a paramedic has told me this.
