The family of a Long Island man who tragically died in a freak MRI-related accident is claiming that the technician is at fault for their loved one’s death.
The incident occurred at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury on Wednesday afternoon, where Keith McAllister, 61, was pulled into the machine by its powerful magnetic force and remained stuck for nearly an hour before being freed.
McAllister had accompanied his wife, Adrienne Jones-McAllister, who was undergoing a knee scan at the facility.
According to their daughter, Samantha Bodden, the MRI technician left the room during the procedure to get McAllister to assist his wife, but failed to warn him about the danger of wearing metal near the machine.
