Lawyer dies after his hidden gun goes off during MRI scan

Leandro Mathias de Novaes’ gun went off due to magnetic field in the MRI scanning room:

It's a superconducting electromagnet, mate. The metal detectors on the door aren't there for your explodey penis substitute, they're there because ferrous metals go ZOOOOM if they get too close to the high-Tesla field!

It's like the dipshit ignored the pre-MRI fact sheet/briefing.

@cstross Magnetic fields aside, how exactly did he expect to hide it from an MRI machine anyway

@rabbit he wasn't the one going into the machine; he was accompanying his mum.
Can't imagine how his mum would feel after this... @cstross
