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 I feel like putting "lawyer" in the headline here is misleading. The guy ignored SEVERAL warnings that bringing a gun near an MRI machine was a terrible idea.

I mean, sure, just being a lawyer doens't mean you're smart, but this guy seems to be pretty far down the road.
