A 32-year-old man died on Jan. 27 after being sucked into an MRI chamber at BYL Nair Hospital in Mumbai, India. That hospital has now decided to replace the MRI scanner, which had not been used since the incident.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation made the decision after inspecting the condition of the scanner, according to a new report from the website NYOOOZ. Initially, the hospital had announced it would repair the scanner instead of installing a replacement.
The reported cost of the new scanner is rs 8 crore, or approximately $1.23 million.
