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.

    Dumb ass. This happens every now and then and it’s always from morons not being able to follow very basic instructions and assuming they know better than the hospital who owns the big dangerous piece of equipment.
