The feud between Casey Kasem's wife and children intensifies amid questions over his death
More than four years after radio legend Casey Kasem died, his wife Jean Kasem reveals to "48 Hours" for the first time her version of her husband's final days, levels allegations of murder in a lawsuit and discusses a heated family feud. "The Mysterious Death of Casey Kasem" will broadcast Saturday, Nov. 24, on CBS.
At the top of his career, Kasem was heard by millions around the world as the host of the music countdown show, "American Top 40," and as the voice of "Shaggy" in the cartoon classic "Scooby Doo."
But toward the end of his life, his family made headlines over an ongoing dispute between Kasem's children from his first wife, and Jean Kasem, his second wife. After his death on Father's Day in 2014, the feud escalated as both sides accused each other of contributing to his death, and they battled over his estate and final resting place.
"They killed my husband," Jean Kasem told "48 Hours'" Peter Van Sant. "They killed their father."
"Jean killed my father," counters Kerri Kasem, one of Kasem's three adult children, adding, "what she did led to his death."

I don't understand why there's a question on this will. Unless Casey cut his wife out, the fortune would go to her. If she had divorced him, she would have automatically received half so what is there to fight about?
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be interesting
ReplyDeleteI will be watching. The Kasem children have been heard but the step mother seemed to have just gotten quiet. I guess she was pretty busy all this time.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when a person can no longer speak up for himself. Imagine how Mr. Kasem felt with all this going on and all of the publicity and headlines. I don't know who is right her or who is wrong and I will be very interested in what Mrs. Kasem has to say, but I will say this, he is no longer here and it can't hurt him anymore, so if she feels she's right, have at it.
