Westbury, NY (AP) – A person who was pulled into a MRI machine in New York, when he went into a room wearing a large chain necklace, according to the police and his wife, told a local television outlet that he said goodbye to lame his body.
The 61 -year -old man entered an MRI room, while a scan was going on at the NASU Open MRI on Wednesday afternoon. According to a release by NASAU County Police Department, the strong magnetic force of the machine attracted him with his metal necklace.
He died on Thursday afternoon, but a police officer, who responded to the phone in the NASAU County Police Precent, where the MRI facility is located, said the department was not allowed to issue names on Saturday.
In a recorded interview, Edrien Jones-McLister told News 12 Long Island that she was undergoing an MRI round on her knee when she asked the technician to help her husband, Keith McCelester to get off the table.
When he got closer to him, he said, “At that moment, the machine replaced him from all sides, pulled him in and he hit MRI.”
“I said: ‘Can you turn off the machine, call 911, do something, stop this curse thing!” “He went on lame in my arms.”
She told News 12 that the technician called her husband into the room, wearing a 20 -pound chain, which he used for weight training, an object that used to have a casual conversation during the previous journey.
“He said goodbye to me and then his entire body became lame,” Jones-Macalester told the TV outlet.
A man who responded to the phone at NASAU Open MRI on Long Island refused to comment on Friday. The phone number became unanswered on Saturday.
This was not the first New York death for results from the MRI machine.
In 2001, 6-year-old Michael Colombini of Croteon-On-Hadson was killed at the Westchester Medical Center, when an oxygen tank flew into the chamber, drawn by 10 tonnes of MRI’s 10 tonnes of electromagnets.
In 2010, records filed at Westchester County revealed that the family prosecuted a $ 2.9 million.
According to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioinizing, MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field”
