A 61-year-old man died after being pulled into an active MRI machine while wearing a heavy metal chain at a clinic in New York.

The Long Island man who was killed in a freak MRI machine accident was sporting a staggering 20-pound chain necklace adorned with a padlock at the time of the tragedy, his grieving wife said. Keith McAllister, 61, died after suffering several heart attacks following the bizarre incident at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury last Wednesday.

A Long Island man who was sucked into an MRI machine by a neck chain he was wearing last week has died, Nassau County police said.
