A 61-year-old man has died after being pulled into an MRI machine in a Long Island Medical Office earlier this week, according to the Nassau County Police Department.

Officers responded to a 911 call for the incident around 4:34 p.m. Wednesday at the Nassau Open MRI located in Westbury.

There, officers were informed that the victim entered an MRI room while a scan was in progress. He was unauthorized to enter the room, according to authorities. Police say the man was wearing a large metallic chain which caused him to be drawn into the machine itself and triggered a “medical episode.”

Emergency responders transported the man to a local hospital in critical condition. However, after nearly a day, the man succumbed to his injuries and was declared deceased at 2:36 p.m. on Thursday.
