A 61-year-old man, Keith McAllister, died after being pulled into an MRI machine at a New York clinic. He was wearing a heavy metal weight-training chain when he entered the room to assist his wife, whose knee was being scanned. The machine's powerful magnetic field drew him in, causing a medical episode that led to his death a day later. His wife stated the clinic staff had previously seen him wearing the chain. The incident highlights the dangers of metallic objects near MRI machines, as warned by the FDA.
