• Casey Kasem's Family Wants His Widow Jean To Be Charged with Elder Abuse

    Casey Kasem, an iconic voice of radio and television may have died last June but the feud between his children and his widow, Jean Kasem, is alive and well. Late last year his daughter, Kerri Kasem, went to the LAPD alleging that their father had been a victim of elder abuse and that Jean had refused to embalm her husband to prevent proof of abuse from being revealed. While the situation has been under investigation, it didn't prevent Kasem from being buried in Oslo, Norway 6 months after his death. Now Kerri is demanding that investigators file charges against Jean.
  • LAPD Turns Investigation of Allegations that Casey Kasem Was Abused By Wife to D.A.'s Office

    Can you believe that nearly six months after radio icon Casey Kasem's death he still has yet to be buried? Jean Kasem has kept her late husband's body in Oslo, Norway, where she claims he should be buried because of his family's roots. Casey's children launched an elder abuse investigation against Jean and the LAPD has finally confirmed that it has turned its findings over to the D.A.'s office. According to TMZ, it has already said that it is unlikely that any charges will be filed due to lack of evidence against Jean. That lack of evidence is the real issue here, and Casey's children believe she has fought an autopsy to protect herself. In fact, not only is Casey still unburied, but he has yet to be embalmed, which means any evidence of mistreatment is literally disintegrating away. Casey's daughter Kerri Kasem has especially pushed for the investigation because she believes Jean's neglect led to infected bed sores that may have played a part in her father's death.
