A lawsuit has been filed against Nassau Open MRI on Long Island by Adrienne Jones-McAllister, 61, whose husband, Keith McAllister, died following a July 16, 2025, incident. While assisting his wife during her MRI scan, Keith was allegedly pulled into the machine due to a large, 20-pound metallic chain around his neck.

Adrienne Jones-McAllister is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages, citing severe mental anguish and distress. The suit names Nassau Open MRI, East Coast Radiology, P.C., Sun Enterprises, LLC, and GM Partners Westbury LLC as defendants, alleging negligent, wanton, reckless, and careless acts by the clinic.
