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.
Yeah very similar experience. I asked about the button on my jeans as the second person in the room and that was fine. He must have been very very close to the magnets.
