The family of a Long Island man who died after being sucked into an MRI machine by his chain necklace has hired a lawyer, who called his death “preventable.”

The family of a man who died after being sucked into an MRI machine is "devastated and seeking answers," according to their attorney.

The man was wearing a large metal necklace when he entered a room where the machine, which uses a powerful magnetic field to create images, was operating.
