Man Who Was Pulled Into M.R.I. Machine Has Died, Police Say

He was 61....

Yuk, here's a detailed rendition of what happened and how.  Pretty sad
story, actually. I take back my earlier snark, although I repeat this
was not the guy's genius move.  Looks like he died from heart attack.

Adrienne Jones-McAllister told News 12 Long Island in a recorded
interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the
technician to get her husband, Keith McAllister, to help her get off
the table. She said she called out to him.

She told News 12 that the technician summoned into the room her
husband, who was wearing a 20-pound chain that he uses for weight
training, an object they’d had a casual conversation about during a
previous visit with comments like: “Ooooooh, that’s a big chain!”

When he got close to her, she said, “at that instant, the machine
switched him around, pulled him in and he hit the MRI.”

“I said: 'Could you turn off the machine, call 911, do something, Turn
this damn thing off!’” she recalled, as tears ran down her face. “He
went limp in my arms.”

She said the technician helped her try to pull her husband off the
machine but it was impossible.

“He waved goodbye to me and then his whole body went limp,”
Jones-McAllister told the TV outlet.
