He fought for his life for weeks.

A Brazilian lawyer tragically died after his gun was discharged by the magnetic field of an MRI machine in the hospital.

The accident occurred on January 16 when a man named Leandro Matias de Novaes was taking his mother for a scan at the Laboratorio Cura in Sao Paulo. He did not tell staff that he was carrying a firearm.

Staff reportedly asked relatives to leave all metal objects outside the MRI room, as is customary in hospitals due to the device's powerful magnetic field. However, Novaez decided to go without declaring his hidden weapon.

Disaster occurred after a machine yanked the weapon from his belt, causing it to explode and hit the lawyer in the stomach. He was subsequently rushed to San Luis Morumbi Hospital, where he remained for several weeks before succumbing to his injuries on February 6.

After the incident, a representative of Laboratorio Cura released a statement saying noted that he adhered to all “accident prevention protocols” as was standard in all MRI departments.

“Both the patient and his companion were properly instructed in access procedures and warned to remove all metal objects,” he stated.

The institution also added that both Novaez and his mother signed the protocols, but the lawyer did not mention his weapon and entered the department with it “by his own decision.”

Police investigation confirmed that the weapon was registered and that the lawyer had a license for it. Before his death, Novaes frequently posted pro-gun content to his more than 8,000 followers on TikTok.

Remember, this is not the first time someone has suffered this way on an MRI. Last year, an American woman was shot in the buttock.
