The heartbroken wife of a Long Island man who was tragically killed after being pulled into an MRI machine is blaming the imaging technician for his death.
Keith McAllister, 61, was critically injured Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury after being violently drawn into the machine by the metal necklace he was wearing.
He later died from his injuries, according to Nassau County police.
His wife, Adrienne Jones-McAllister, had just completed an MRI on her knee and asked a technician to bring her husband in to help her off the table.
When McAllister entered the room – still wearing the 20-pound metal chain his wife said he ‘used for weight training’ – the machine’s powerful magnetic force suddenly pulled him in.
