A Long Island man died after a metal chain he wore was pulled into an MRI machine. His wife says the tragedy unfolded in front of her.
The victim wore "a large metallic chain around his neck, causing him to be drawn into the machine," police said.
Even if he was standing there holding the chain in his hands, the strongest weightlifter would not be able to prevent this kind of an accident from happening,” said Dr. Emanuel Kanal.
