What began as a routine hospital visit ended in unthinkable tragedy. Adrienne Jones-McAllister had just finished her knee scan when she asked a technician to call her husband, Keith McAllister, into the MRI room to help her up.
Seconds later, her world changed forever. “I saw him walk toward me… then the machine just snatched him,” she said, her voice breaking. The powerful magnet pulled the 61-year-old’s heavy metal necklace straight into the scanner, slamming him against the machine with deadly force. “He went limp in my arms — and that image won’t leave my mind.”
Adrienne insists the technician should have known better. “That man saw the chain before — they even joked about it,” she shared. Their daughter, Samantha, echoed the anger, saying, “He was told to go in. He trusted the people who should’ve protected him.”
Keith suffered multiple heart attacks and died shortly after. The family is demanding answers and calling for accountability as investigators review the shocking incident.
It’s a tragedy that no wife should ever witness — and one haunting question remains: how could something so preventable take the life of the man she loved?
