The language here is really confusing and the link to the police statement is broken for me. When they say and unauthorized MRI room do they mean he was unauthorized to enter or something about the MRI room being unauthorized, like a backroom dodgy deal sort of thing?

I found a NY Times article, which starts out:
A man who entered an M.R.I. room during a scan in Westbury, N.Y., on Wednesday was pulled into the machine by his chain necklace and was hospitalized in critical condition, the authorities said.
The man, who is 61, was wearing a “large metallic chain” around his neck when he entered the room at Nassau Open MRI around 4:34 p.m., according to the Nassau County Police Department, on Long Island. The man, whom the police did not name, did not have authorization to enter the room, the authorities said.
The former. He was never meant to enter that room while the MRI was being conducted for another patient.
That's a hell of a chain. I'd be interested to see how big it was and what his injuries were
Was it Flava Flav?
They check your nipples, penis, vagina, belly button and ears for rings. Specially rings attached to them, which could be potentially awful to see after the MRI.
