Keith McAllister, 61, died after a fatal incident at a Nassau Open MRI clinic. He accompanied his wife, who was undergoing an MRI scan. She called him for assistance, and he went into the machine while wearing a nearly 20lb metal chain. The powerful magnetic force of the MRI pulled him into the device, resulting in a medical episode that left him critically injured. He succumbed to his injuries a day later in the hospital. His wife expressed her shock and grief, recalling the horror of the event and the prior familiarity with the facility's procedures.
