Wife of Man Killed in Freak MRI Accident Tearfully Recalls Watching Machine 'Snatch Him’: ‘He Went Limp in My Arms'


Keith McAllister was caught in an MRI machine at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, N.Y. on July 16, and died of his injuries the following day. In an emotional interview, his wife recalled him going 'limp' in her arms and watching the machine 'snatch him.'

In an emotional new interview with News 12 Long Island, Adrienne Jones-McAllister tearfully recalled the moment she “saw the machine snatch him” and “pull him" in by a necklace he was wearing. Police responded to a 911 call at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury, N.Y., just after 4:30 p.m. local time on July 16, when they learned a 61-year-old man (later identified as McAllister) had experienced a “medical episode” after he was caught in one of the machines, the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) previously said in a news release. Recalling the incident that led to his death, the grieving wife said that after an MRI on her knee, she asked the technician to retrieve her husband to help her get up.
