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.

At the time, his wife Adrienne Jones-McAllister was undergoing a routine knee scan in the MRI machine.

She said that McAllister would typically enter the exam room to help her get back on her feet near the end of her appointments and never had an issue before the deadly incident.

McAllister had taken to wearing the hulking 20-pound necklace as part of his weight training, Jones-McAllister explained to News 12 Long Island.

They’d even discussed his training and the hard-to-miss chain with the MRI technician during their previous appointments, Jones-McAllister said.

“That was not the first time that guy has seen that chain” on her husband, she said. “They had a conversation about it before.”

When McAllister entered the exam room with the technician, the machine suddenly “switched him around, and pulled him in,” Jones-McAllister said.

Jones-McAllister and the technician tried in vain to pry McAllister off of the machine while she pleaded all the while for someone to turn it off.

“I was saying ‘turn off the machine, call 911, do something, turn this damn thing off!’,” Jones-McAllister recounted to the outlet.

When MRI machines are on, they create a strong magnetic field that can attract metal objects like McAllister’s chain.
