A Brazilian lawyer tragically died after his gun was discharged by an MRI machine’s magnetic field at the hospital.
The freak accident occurred on January 16 while the gun-loving lawyer, named Leandro Mathias de Novaes, was taking his mother to get scanned at the Laboratorio Cura in São Paulo, Jam Press reported. Unbeknownst to hospital staff, the attorney had a registered firearm in his possession.
Staff had reportedly asked the pair to remove all metal objects before entering the MRI room, as is protocol at hospitals due to the device’s powerful magnetic field. However, Novaes decided to go in sans announcing his concealed weapon.
Disaster struck after the machine yanked the weapon from his waistband, causing it to go off and strike the lawyer in the stomach. He was subsequently rushed to the São Luiz Morumbi Hospital, where he hung on for weeks, before eventually succumbing to his injuries on February 6.

“But it was a Glock!”
Is the MRI machine OK?
Well, if it was magnetic, it wasn’t a ghost gun. Although he is now a ghost.
A round in the chamber at an MRI
He deserved it.
Recall a young boy died in an MRI machine when someone carrying an oxygen tank had it ripped out his arms when walking by a door that was left open.
What an idiot. All he had to do was obey simple instructions.
I can just hear Alec Baldwin’s attorney...”Baldwin’s gun went off because a huge magnetic field passed over the filming site...”
A good start.
He wasn’t vaxxed. Sad.
Ban MRI machines.
Darwin award
He got the shot.
Terminal diagnosis…
He is now sans life.
That’s it...There must have been an MRI machine on the set of Rust.
