Mumbai man dies after getting sucked into MRI machine at Nair Hospital
Wow, accidents
A 32-year-old salesman, Rajesh Maru, died after he was sucked into a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine when he walked into the room with an oxygen cylinder at Mumbai's Nair Hospital on Saturday night.
The man's family alleged that his death was caused due to medical negligence by hospital staff. According to media reports, when Maru entered the MRI room, the metallic cylinder activated the MRI machine's magnetic force which sucked the victim into it, along with the cylinder. According to NDTV, his hand got stuck in the machine, following which ward boys pried his body out. He was rushed to the emergency room where he was declared dead within 10 minutes.
