00:00A man who was pulled into an MRI machine in New York has died.
00:04Police say the 61-year-old was wearing a metallic necklace
00:07when he walked into a room where a scan was underway.
00:10That's when the machine's strong magnetic force attracted the chain.
00:14Police say he had entered the room without authorization.
00:17He was taken to the hospital in critical condition after the incident and died the next day.
00:23Experts say an MRI's magnetic force is strong enough to fling a wheelchair across a room.
