A 61-year-old man who was sucked into an MRI machine on Long Island while wearing a metal neck chain has died from his injuries, authorities revealed Friday.
The freak accident happened Wednesday at Nassau County Open MRI in Westbury when the man was pulled into the magnetic resonance imaging machine by his “large metal chain,” Nassau County cops said in a release.

What do you think? Post a comment.
Officials said the man was not a patient but was accompanying someone else who was to undergo a medical scan, ABC reported.
Witnesses told CBS the man defied orders to stay out of the MRI room because his relative was screaming in pain.
The man’s cause of death was not revealed by officials, but a staff doctor at North Shore University Hospital speculated on what could have happened.
“If this was a chain that was wrapped around the neck, I could imagine any kind of strangulation injuries that could happen,” Dr. Payal Sud told CBS.

“Asphyxiation, cervical spine injuries.
An investigation is underway, but no criminality is suspected.

I'm gonna guess the usual suspects, told to take it off but said no

More merciful than the dumbass coomer who got his buttplug ripped through his intestines.

It literally says he wasn't allowed inside but went inside anyways. Just a failure to take orders seriously.

What?

There are a ton of stories about this kind of shit.

"Greatest personal injury case I've ever heard," an accompanying screenshot of a direct message reads. "An estimated Valley attorney, has picked up a client who is suing a sex toy company. Said client purchased a butt plug that was advertised as '100% silicone'. Client wears butt plug to MRI appointment. Much to client's dismay, butt plug in fact has a metallic core. Butt plug is accelerated at the speed of sound [...] into client's chest cavity. Described in memo as an 'anal rail gun'. Client survived with major injuries."

I thought anyone wearing a buttplug would welcome an "anal rail gun."

Yep. Wife is telling a different story about the tech saying he could come in to help his wife out of the mri, but why the fuck was he wearing any metal going into that room?

I hope it wasn't Mr T or Flava Flav

He was wearing a 20 pound chain with a lock on "He uses for weight training."
Very odd

Of fucking course they were from Hempstead, it's basically the Harlem of Long Island. Wild and awful thing to witness as a spouse, but you can't really feel too bad when the 'no metal' warning gets posted everywhere and parroted by every person you interact with when you get one of these scans. It begs belief that they'd ever let him in the room with 20 pounds of metal on him. Typical hoodrat reaction, immediately fishing for the payoff.

 

[RollingRock2]

She could just be lying and he entered the room despite being warned

Lmao, the reporting is dishonest.

Voiceover: "She asked the technician to get her husband"
Niggress: "I yelled at him. Keith Keith! Come help me up, come help me up!"

What the fuck is wrong with her lip? Is this like the old Bill Cosby routine where he goes to the dentist and after his lip is numbed he talks funny?

Very odd

I assumed the nigga just thought his "gold" chain wasn't magnetic, only to find out (briefly) that he's gotten ripped off.

I have more respect for a 20lb Harrison Bergeron chain than I do for nigger bling.

We've found the perfect cast for the woke BossManJack remake!

He was keepin' it real to the gory end. If he'd watched the latest Final Destination, he would have known not to be wearing any kind of metal near an MRI machine. But even if he had seen it, he would have been all "naw das bullshit yo!"
