Widow of Man Fatally Sucked Into MRI Machine Files Lawsuit Against New York Clinic
Adrienne Jones-McAllister alleges the clinic failed to warn her husband about a 20-pound chain before the MRI machine pulled him in.
- Adrienne Jones-McAllister filed a lawsuit against Nassau Open MRI in New York Supreme Court, alleging negligence caused the death of her husband, Keith McAllister, last July.
- On July 16, 2025, a technician summoned McAllister into the MRI room to assist his wife; the 61-year-old was pulled into the machine by a 20-pound metallic chain necklace he was wearing.
- The complaint alleges the clinic allowed "dangerous, hazardous and/or unsafe conditions to exist" by failing to instruct McAllister to remove his necklace, and claims staff failed to take "appropriate emergency action."
- Jones-McAllister, who "witnessed and was totally aware through all of her senses" as her husband died, is seeking unspecified damages for severe psychological injuries she sustained.
- Nassau County Police Department confirmed the victim suffered a medical episode after being drawn into the device, as the lawsuit filed on April 7 asserts "negligent, wanton, reckless and careless acts" directly caused death.
