Casey Kasem Hospitalized After Dramatic Scene Unfolds at Home

Radio icon Casey Kasem was hospitalized in Washington on Sunday after a dramatic scene unfolded outside the home where he has been staying — a situation which culminated with his wife throwing a pound of hamburger meat at his eldest daughter from his first marriage.

As ordered by Kitsap County Judge Jennifer Forbes on Friday, Casey Kasem's daughter Kerri was able to visit him on Friday for the first time since his wife removed him from a Santa Monica facility and transported him to Washington without notifying his family. Forbes also ruled that Kerri Kasem, 41, would be able to take her father to be evaluated by a physician and hospitalized, if necessary.

Kerri Kasem testified at the hearing that the doctor hired by Jean Kasem had told her that her 82-year-old father had developed infections in his lungs and bladder and has bed sores.

"Kerri was just very, very upset because her dad’s health had declined so much since she and Julie saw him on May 6," her aunt Mary Kasem, who lives in Michigan, told NBC News. He just went backwards. She was so heartbroken on Friday that it broke my heart."

On Sunday, Kerri Kasem arrived at the home with an ambulance to take Casey Kasem to a hospital, but paramedics were not allowed inside the Silverdale residence. A few minutes later, someone inside the home called 911, and a second ambulance and fire truck arrived. After the fire truck was called away to an emergency, Jean Kasem, 59, walked downstairs and threw a pound of raw hamburger meat at Kerri. The paramedics were finally able to go inside and pick up Casey Kasem.

After Casey Kasem was gone, Jean Kasem told NBC News that she was following a King James verse when she threw the meat at her stepdaughter.

"In the name of King David, I threw a piece of raw meat into the street in exchange for my husband to the wild rabid dogs," she said.

"Everything she's doing is just making it worse for herself," Mary Kasem said when she learned how Jean had behaved on Sunday.

It was the second time since Friday's hearing that Jean Kasem acted out. A few hours after Judge Forbes said she was going to carry out a Los Angeles judge's orders that Kerri Kasem be in charge of her father's medical care, Jean Kasem held a news conference in which she played cell phone audio of her husband moaning. She claimed that he was protesting the judge's decision.

"That was just so sad and wrong," Mary Kasem said. "We don't know if that's him or not. But if it is, he's probably groaning because he has stage three bed sores, a lung infection, and a bladder infection. For her to put out something like that and claim that is just awful."

Forbes has scheduled another hearing for Friday.

Jean Kasem is best known for her role on the '80s hit "Cheers." She and Kasem married in 1980 — she and the radio personality have a 23-year-old daughter.

Jokes aside, this is all terribly sad. Few things worse than seeing elderly folks in bad health being pushed around like chess pieces by selfish and deluded relatives.

....who were admittedly pretty damn funny on Cheers and its ill-fated spin-off, The Tortellis.

Can we at least finish that board before starting a new one, just for my OCD's sake?

Even though he likely was not aware it's a shame that the last part of his life was such an ordeal. Hopefully he knew that he was loved by his children and his many fans over the years.

That was last year's board. When Jan 1 rolls over, your board resets.

Re: Radio personality Casey Kasem reportedly gravely ill, missing & found, Dead: 6-15
 

Ahh. See, I was not aware of that.

Be that as it may, I will continue to update and play out the old board if that's okay by you.

TMZ: Casey Kasem's Body Is MISSING!

Casey Kasem has been dead for more than a month .... yet he's not been buried and now we've learned his body is missing.

Fingers now point in the direction of Casey's widow, Jean. Family sources say Jean took the body from a funeral home the day before a judge ordered her to keep it there so an autopsy could be performed.

The autopsy is crucial to an ongoing criminal investigation targeting Jean. The Santa Monica PD is looking into elder abuse allegations ... that Jean took Casey on a wild, week-long multi-state car ride which caused him to develop bed sores that got infected and contributed to his death.

Jean and Casey's children have been at war for years.

As for where the body is ... no one but Jean seems to know, and no one can find her either. It's interesting ... Jean listed Jerusalem as her address on Casey's death certificate.

Casey's daughter Kerri believes Jean is out of the country.

We reached out to Jean's people. So far no word back.

It's like you get out of that up-tempo record, then you gotta talk about somebody dying...

Re: Radio personality Casey Kasem reportedly gravely ill, missing & found, Dead: 6-15
 

Do funeral homes often let people take dead relatives with them? Like toss them into the back of their SUV or something and drive off? I realize it's the shit-show that is TMZ but they are skipping over some important details like "how any of this is possible".
