The wife of a man who died after a horrifying MRI accident has spoken publicly about the moment it happened, and how she\u2019s coping in the aftermath.<\/p>\n

Adrienne Jones-McAllister was at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, New York, on July 16, undergoing a routine scan on her knee, when her husband, 61-year-old Kevin, was suddenly pulled into the machine by its powerful magnetic force.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe went limp in my arms,\u201d Jones-McAllister told News 12 Long Island. \u201cAnd that moment is still pulsating in my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to police, Kevin had entered the MRI room during the scan while wearing a heavy, metal chain around his neck. That chain, weighing roughly 20 pounds and worn regularly for weight training, triggered the machine\u2019s magnetic field and caused him to be violently pulled toward it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe male victim was wearing a large metallic chain around his neck causing him to be drawn into the machine, which resulted in a medical episode,\u201d the Nassau County Police Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Kevin suffered multiple heart attacks as a result of the incident. He was rushed to the hospital but died two days later from his injuries, according to reports.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adrienne recalled that after her scan was complete, she asked a technician to bring her husband into the room to help her get up. Despite strict MRI safety protocols (patients are required to remove all metal before entering the scanning area) Kevin was allowed into the room with the chain still on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that instant, the machine switched him around, pulled him in, and he hit the MRI,\u201d Adrienne said. \u201cI saw the machine snatch him.\u201d<\/p>\n

She and the technician tried desperately to pull him free, but the magnetic force was too strong. \u201cI was yelling, \u2018Could you turn off the machine? Call 911! Do something! Turn this damn thing off!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

MRI machines use extremely powerful magnets to scan soft tissues and internal organs. The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering explicitly warns that no metal or electronic objects should be brought into the MRI suite.<\/p>\n

What makes this tragedy even more painful, Adrienne said, is that this wasn\u2019t their first time at the facility, and staff were familiar with her husband\u2019s chain. \u201cThey had a conversation about it before,\u201d she claimed. \u201c\u2018Oh, that\u2019s a big chain,\u2019 they said.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Kevin\u2019s death, Adrienne has struggled with grief and disbelief.
\n\u201cI haven\u2019t been able to sleep, I\u2019m barely eating,\u201d she said. \u201cI just can\u2019t believe it. I\u2019m still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. He waved goodbye to me\u2026 and then his whole body went limp.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nassau County Police Department has confirmed that an investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
