I hope a Judge can do something about that POS gold digger and make sure His children get their fathers estate left to them because that pos lady doesn’t deserve anything It’s obviously too late for them to see and take care of Him now But @ least that old Devil shouldn’t be allowed any of Casem’s estate .
My thoughts exactly. With the money he had he should of had round the clock care at home. Instead she had him in a facility and moved him several times.
@@CatalinaFOIA or didn't want the burden. Maybe she wanted her freedom and with people in the house to witness it wouldn't have looked so good at his death.
Jean killed him. She could've given Casey round the clock care at his home in Bel-Air. His children and close friends could've visited and added months or maybe even years to his life. All the money he had and she dumps him in some crappy facility. She just wanted to separate him from his kids. She was so afraid he'd leave everything to them. Everything about her was fear-based, so insincere. Then she has him buried in Norway, in an unmarked grave!!??? He's an American icon!!! What kind of love is that??? She fixed it so that nobody could even pay their respects at his burial site. So cruel and spiteful. Oh, and that fake faint.... go back to acting school you old heifer.
As a nurse this case sickens me. Stepmother isolating husband from his children, withholding medical care, leading to a host of terminal (and preventable!) illnesses e.g. UTI, Stage III pressure ulcer, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. People, there are reasons why we keep fragile folks in medical care…those 5 diagnoses are preventable with proper medical supervision and interventions. Listen to your medical team…sheesh. This man deserved a more dignified and comfortable passing. RIP Casey, an American Icon!
Great points. The fact he had all those treatable/preventable issues says a lot about the kind of care he was receiving from his wife, Jeanie, and friend, Shasta, in Silverdale, Washington. I was surprised 48 Hours didn’t challenge Jeanie and Shasta more on that point. Casey should have been in a hospital, or at least under qualified medical care.
Ok but wasn't he in the rehab facility when all those things started? That ulcer didn't happen in a matter of days when she'd removed him... IDK it seems like he was in bad shape and dying regardless and both parties just made it harder on him and everyone involved.
Even with proper medical supervision and the best of interventions, 82 year old patients with Parkinson’s still get UTIs, pressure ulcers, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Are you new?
She Is Vindictive ! But Even More Dinggie Blond Helping Herself To All That Money! When Your Parents Die ! There ! Is When You Find Out About Your Family! Brothers An Sisters Fighting Or Who's Who! What's There's ! An That's It! What They Will Get! It's The Final Proof Of How Well The Family Was! My Own Didn't Even Morun! No Way! The Day My Dad Died They Were At His House Cleaning It Out! Disgacefull
I'd say his daughter is coming off just as unhinged and has all the hallmarks of a liar as well as his wife. This was 2 strong willed women arguing over money they didn't earn. Sickening behaviour from both
@@Eric-ts3mq Yep, you will know which family is materialistic or not. My parents own some properties, stocks, and other things of value. When my father died, my 3 siblings and I did not demand to get our share of the inheritance according to law. We signed an extrajudicial deed making our mom the sole owner of those properties my parents bought as a couple. We even told her to start selling her properties except her residence and enjoy the money from those sales because it is hard to keep more than one property when one is already old and the children do not want to have anything to do with those properties.
My ex worked with Casey on projects for several years. Casey was so kind and generous to everyone involved. He threw Christmas parties where he'd take over an entire Beverly Hills restaurant, one year adding tents to accommodate everyone. Casey provided us with wonderful memories. My impression of Jean at the parties, however, were not positive.
I've heard outtakes and he sounded like a DBag. Probably a perfectionist having a bad day, but the man had a temper occasionally. Still, no reason for the way he went out.
@@micheleh5269 In all fairness, it’s common for elderly people to have asymptomatic UTIs. Often times, confusion is the only symptom. That being said, I am in no way defending that woman!
Yes and everything they did was above board and according to medical recommendation. She did everything secretive, allowed him to get a deep bedsore, uti went untreated, claimed he wanted to be buried in Israel and then buried him in Norway? Not to mention that she's insufferable
I worked as a home health aid for a short time, but I still remember my training. In order to avoid Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), you must reposition the person at least every two hours. If his bed sores were to the bone, that would mean he was not taken care of at all! Jeannie and her friend Shasta are MONSTERS!!!
Not completely true. I had a resident that would turn herself right back on her back. Every time I’d go in, I’d turn her on a side, and by the time I got back for her next check, she was on her back again, no matter how many pillows I’d prop her up with. We could not restrain her. It was her choice to roll back over. She quit eating much, and lost all of her body fat. Developed a sore on her tail bone that went deep and required frequent would care. This was just assisted living, not a nursing home or skilled care facility. Her family and caregivers were very involved. She was very loved. I almost collapsed when she finally passed, but my coworker caught me. For several years after, son and daughter in law would call me on her birthday.
Why if "he wanted to be buried in Israel??( foreing country, can not recall, correct name of country) why did Mrs. Kasem not do that & was buried in a foreign country "Norway" instead of back to USA? Are his children bringing Casey's body back to USA? Or because of the settlement in 2019 by both parties wife & Kasem children did, his burial site is been kept a secret in USA as respect to Casey?
@@annajordan243 no way. Your children especially as a woman is just as important to you as your spouse. They are your progeny, your spouse is not. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.
@@sherribarry7143 your spouse is not more important than your children. They both hold equal relevance. Your children are your progeny. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.
The burial in Norway is the most narcissistic act I've ever heard, even in death she needed to control, she did that just so the children couldn't visit his father easily. Pure evil.
The thing that sucks most about this story is that Casey spent his last stretch of life watching his wife and his kids fight over him instead of having them all at his side comforting him.
I've worked in Eldercare facilities & in home private care for 30 years. That nearly to the bone ulcer tells you all you need to know about how "well" Jeanie cared for him. It's a pressure wound AKA as a bed sore & they are 100% PREVENTABLE. As long as a patient is kept clean of bowel movements/urine & turned every 2 hours they won't get one. Please note that mention of this wound was never charted/mentioned in the facility she yanked him out of at 2am. What this woman did was play the ultimate end game of Power & Control thru Parental Alienation.
@@AKayfabe it was nearly to the bone. It would have had to have been in medical records and would have started to heal. You believe that it is more likely that miss snoopy (that said he wasn't a moment in pain, so either didn't know about the URI and sore, or was lying) was taking good care of him, and the multiple staff assisting him in rounds neglected him? ...wow
I work in Skilled nursing and long term care facilities and was thinking EXACT same thing. A man w that kind of money would be in a super nice SNF where he gets briefs changed regularly, best air mattresses money can buy, re-positioned every two hours (like you said). Plus he has the UTI, Lung infections (aspiration PNA, I’m sure). How do you hide a father from his children?
Your statement is 💯 % facts. It appears Mr. C.K. health considerably declined when his wife removed him from the initial place of care...she seem to have a power struggle complex. Moving a patient from place to place put Mr. C.K. in distress...mentally and physically. My opinion means nothing...but here you have it..the wife committed elder abuse including keeping his children from seeing their father...smh Rest well soldier.
Let me see.She isolated himDischarged him against doctor's warning.Kept him in homecare where he had multiple infections.Wasn't there when he died.Made him rest in an unmarked grave.She is got control issues.I don't think it's just about the money, it's cruelty. And when kids made him sign in a dozed off stage as wife claimed,they could have gone for power of attorney.Wife was fine throwing meat at daughter calling her dog,but she was worried to go to hospital to see her husband in death bed.How could see say that she only got 5 mins with him,when she wouldn't even allow his own kids the same? And last,why would she agree for this interview?
Oh wow. His wife is out of her mind if she thinks people believe that bs story. His children had every right to fight for their father. His wife's carelessness, whether intentional or not, led to his death. What a tragedy.
Why couldn’t they all split the money so that everyone was happy. There was more than enough to go around. My fathers family did the same thing to me. People are so greedy!
@@AlabasterJar7 You pretty much answered your own question: She needed him to die BEFORE reviewing/updating his will, and she WAS NOT going to let that happen!!! NOW, they all get to split less $$$...
Dr don't determine how much pain you're in, the patient does. Even if you can't speak, you can see heartrate n blood pressure go as pain meds wear off. Also, there are things that any Dr or nurse would know from experience n data that they are painful.....YES individual pain tolerance varies, but they'd know the difference btwn what conditions are ibuprofen pain vs morphine pain.
As a nurse I can say from personal experience I would believe she was committing elder ab*se. A stage 3 pressure ulcer and UTI are directly related to poor care over at least several days. Absolutely deplorable... the worst part about my job is not death but the family members who torment someone at the end.
ICU nurse here and I fully agree!! Also, for her to move him in the middle of the night, (plus stopping his abx from the facility for the UTI no doubt) surely shortened his life drastically. His wife killed him medically and he couldn't speak for himself. Keeping his kids from visiting and the buriel was just cruel above and beyond.
Totally agree. When she said that it was a lie that no one told her the risk of disconnecting him from his IV and Gtube I knew for a fact she was lying. There is no way medical staff just complied to her request without giving her the risks of that decision
@@katetruthseeker2758 it doesn’t matter. He has several infections, several issues & was deteriorating all while family was trying to get him to a hospital & she was claiming he was doing well hidden in this home. That’s the red flag. He had these infections sore & she wasn’t bringing in doctors or taking him to get care, after doctors warned her her actions could cause him death AND he drastically changed in appearance from when she took him in the middle of the night.
She shouldn’t have kept his children from seeing their Dad. She could have insisted on supervised visits. The fact she unplugged him and took him out of the hospital against doctors orders is telling. Then she put him in a private house not a hospital. When the kids got him out of that house the doctors noted many health issues that occurred because he wasn’t under medical care. His wife basically killed him. Imho
Exactly my thoughts. Also - I can’t believe she never gifted a home to her “ long time best friend “. She knew when she was answering phones why she was there . Actress sociopath.
Unfortunately things like this happen too often. A rich man with grown children marries a second time and the second wife tries to keep him from his children.
A stage three ulcer is considered abuse. As a registered nurse I knew watching this that the second wife Genie was abusing him. She put him in a hospital bed in a house which is not equipped to take care of him. Listening to Jeannie and her friends who claimed that he was fine I knew right away they have no clue on how to care for an elderly individual with his needs. What a disgusting exploitation of an elderly wealthy man what a sad ending he had.
Did you notice what the friend said/did as she gave the tour and she showed where his so-called hospital bed was? At the foot of the double bed in a small bedroom. She motioned and said ‘His bed was right here.’ No chance a hospital bed wld fit in that room- esp once you consider all the other DME that wld be necessary. Also, with a Stage 3, he’d have a higher level pressure relieving mattress which generally takes up more space. Ohhhhhh, how I wish I cldve been there to ask her to name the manufacturer. That’s something an active caregiver wld know. It’s written all over the frame and the mattress.
At first, I don’t necessarily blame anyone for not having full knowledge of how to care for someone with tremendous and specific needs. But then, a normal person does all they can to find out! This clearly wasn’t a priority for his wife (or her friends, I guess, either).
I couldn’t handle my aunt’s end of life care by myself and she wanted to be at home, so we hired a home hospice service. Someone (a CNA or lpn) was with her (and me!) at all times and once a day an RN would stop in and look over everything. Most people aren’t equipped to handle end of life care. That’s why hospices, home healthcare workers, and nursing homes exist. To keep patients as comfortable as possible and families sane.
The fact that his wife had him buried in another country is just straight up malicious and wrong. That should tell you everything you need to know about her, that she would be so vicious and spiteful, towards his children that she would have him buried where they can’t even visit him after he’s dead! That’s sad and wrong on so many levels
I agree 100%... To withdraw hydration and food is just wrong! Your mouth hurts so BAD WHEN YOU MOUTH IS DRY THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH IS IN HORRIBLE PAIN...
I used to listen to him until my parents moved us across the different states. He has a lovely radio voice, you never get sick and tired of him on air . He will be missed!
Anyone that has that voice, and acts that dramatic, is guilty. I swear. She plays perfectly into the classic damsel in distress cliche, and hooks people in with her soft innocent voice, overly dramatic communication, and over the top emotions. The way she talks sounds like a screenplay. It’s so obvious to many people , and it always saddens me when some genuine person falls for these types. They are either highly narcissistic, or full blown psychopaths. Either way both types are highly dangerous. Especially to the vulnerable
@@chloek2207and she sounds like darlie routier. Ugh, it’s so gross that these women use an ‘innocent little girl’ voice to try convince people of their angelic innocence 😑
THE FACT THAT Jean would not let his children visit Casey tells me without a doubt the type of controlling, divisive and greedy individual she truly is.
Yes but the kids were doing sneaky things too. What’s the deal with whisking him off to a UPS store and having legal documents ready for him to sign? I worked in a nursing home also, as the social worker, and many times caught people trying to get the “soon to die” patient to sign legal paperwork. Both sides are guilty in this. Also if someone is at end of life you aren’t going to be treating most ailments.
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars," that was Casey's motto. As a young man I would listen and when older and traveling the world as a soldier it brought a little bit of home to wherever I was. Remember the long-distance dedications? I do. Rest in peace Casey, and thanks.
Team Kids all the way - Jean is a terrible actress and her attempt to turn sympathy toward herself fails miserably. She clearly terrorized those kids and made choices that led to Casey's death. The ulcer in his back (to the bone!!) was the game changer for me. Snoopy Nurse Lady didn't notice that??? Don't tell me it developed in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Eyeroll.
You know, I agree with you on every point. I was laughing out loud at her dramatic interview responses. But I have to tell you, if my step-kids took their dad with dementia off to create legal documents that left me out of the loop.....I'm not going to have a good reaction to that. If Casey was able to clearly state what he wanted then they definitely should have gotten it on video, and that makes me think they were up to shenanigans. What Casey really should have done was get it all down on paper the moment he knew he had a disease that caused dementia. As for the ulcer on his back, that didn't happen overnight. Bed ridden patients get them, even with the best of care, and often they can only be managed, not cured. It's likely he'd had it some time and everyone who provided care to him knew about it. What is more concerning is Jean had his feeding tube removed. There was absolutely no reason to do that other than to be switching to Comfort Care/End of Life Care. Nothing else makes sense, because why would you remove it? I can just about promise you (I'm a nurse) it was put in because he couldn't swallow.....that means he wasn't getting the hydration he needed, and I would say that is where the infections and organs shutting down came from. Most people don't live past a week once hydration is stopped. Without that tube he likely couldn't take medications or anything else. By the time the kids got him back to the hospital it was all too late. What surprised me is that Jean didn't say she and Casey had decided that once he wasn't able to swallow his own food or if there came a time when he didn't recognize his family that he would be removed from care and allowed to pass. She could have effectively made a case for "Casey wanted to die at home and that was decided long before any of this happened." Maybe no one would have bought it since she had him in nursing homes? Again, if Casey had made a living will the moment he found out he had dementia, it would have prevented a lot of this. I still think the kids are most genuine and cared about their dad. Jean clearly was being spiteful right up to the end.
@@msdarby515 - thank you! It's interesting to hear a nurse's perspective on this. Regarding the documents, though, I can understand if they believed their dad was being mistreated that they'd try to find a legal way to take over his care. Yes, the method was questionable but in a desperate situation, I can see why they'd do it. As for the ulcer, what you said makes sense. Maybe that wasn't the "smoking gun" to show mistreatment. But yes, I think we're all in agreement that Jean is in the wrong overall.
I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!
Someone who has a stage 3 bedsore that is to the bone is in excruciating pain. For his wife and her friend to say otherwise is just an outright lie. This is horrible and I feel badly for Casey he deserved better than this.
@@ellenfoster9764 yes he did, but it's obvious by her actions she has issues. Hiding him, moving him around against doctors orders, keeping his family away from him, throwing frozen meat at people is not the behavior of someone who is in their right mind.
Why should he have ever been made to choose?…That’s absolutely ridiculous. People remarry. You never see this behavior toward a mother and stepdad. It’s so stupid! He deserved to be happy. These people are insane.
It’s instantly obvious his wife is lying. She comes across as a vengeful and selfish control freak who couldn’t handle Casey’s health, but also wanted to punish his kids by withholding him from them. It’s truly sad how times like these can bring out the worst in people.
His wife is absolutely insane. Fake crying with no tears. Those poor kids. Hopefully this gets resolved soon so they can move on with the grieving process and close this chapter of their life.
Funny you used the word insane..I actually googled "casey kasem's CRAZY wife" she see.s evil to the core...then to bury him in Norway ....I hv no words!
82 isnt that old, not for someone like him sure do miss his voice, now I have found some old countdown shows, love to listen. ----- just such a class act, RIP.
From what I have read, Norway does not embalm bodies so that they decompose more rapidly and entirely, as graves are apparently re-used after 20 years. I guess she was counting on that if the children were successful in court, there would be nothing to bring back.
Casey wasn't ready to say goodbye. He could have lived much longer. How do you take someone away from the loving care of his wife and family and starve and dehydrate them to death???
Casey was not at end of life. He responded well to treatment, was alert, cognizant, knew who he was, where he was, carried on a conversation with a Washington State police officer, was very upset that the children from his first marriage were involved in his business, and protested bitterly about being removed from the loving care of his wife and daughter.
The moment Jean ordered his feeding tube and IV removed, against medical advice , is what did it for me. I'm with his children on this Edit: In his condition, he should not have been moved. They didn't turn him in his bed, causing the bed sore leading to sepsis. At 82, with preexisting medical issues, he would not have recovered. How can she say he wanted to be buried in Israel, then bury him in Norway??? She did nothing, but play games with this man's life and death. it's sickening
But what would be her motive to torment him in his final days? Genuinely curious, not attacking your opinion. Never heard of this case, but you seem to be clued up
@@suzymoroka297 POWER, AND CONTROL!!! "The tighter you hold the leash, the more muffled the barks become..." She DID IT, to prevent him changing his will before death...
“He looked at me and he was scared to death.”.... yeah, of you lady. Narcissists destroy everything. Those poor kids, they did the best they could for their father! I’ve been taking care of the elderly for over Eighteen years, and he was in horrible shape! “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” That woman is wicked!!!
Jean sobbing: "They only gave me 5 minutes to say goodbye to him" 48hrs: "The paperwork says you couldn't be stopped from seeing him and the kids say you didn't bother to come see him" Jean: "Well, I was scared to go see him"
@@nicolemartinez5041 And his kids were doing the same, everyone loves to be the victim. But now that the kids got their cut of the money, there is no more fighting to bring his body back to the usa, seems they really didn't care about that either just their cut of the money.
@@catdooley4616 I think that the kids care more about the dad then the wife tho, because the kids were at trying to help him with medical care when the wife was moving him place to place and leaving him in pain with all the medical issues he was having. The kids didn't stop the wife from going to the hospital to see him, yet the wife was petty and showed her true colors when she buried her husband somewhere that the kids don't know just so they can't go see him and i think she did that to have the last laugh at the kids and also to have control over him still, even after he passed..
She was so ridiculous, fake, and over the top through the whole video, but to finish it off with that "faint" at 38:48 was just the icing on the cake. That's how you pretend to faint when you've only ever seen it in decades-old movies.
Even then, it can go "sideways" as they say nowadays. As you can see, Kasem's kids had legal documentation, including video, and they still couldn't prevent the spouse from doing what she wanted.
yep, my bff just reminded me of that the other day. After watching this, plus how contentious my own parents were towards the end, I will work on that asap
@@kidmack3556 yes, but they had to do that as a last resort. I think the point of this comment is to do that in your planning, so it doesn't get that ugly in the end
As a wife and mom in a blended family I literally CAN'T fathom any kids yours, mine, or ours being denied access to either myself or my husband if we were sick! I was in hospital for 7 months following a traumatic head injury. It was during the height of Covid so Noone could visit. I wouldn't wish that loneliness on anyone!
They were allowed to see him in the beginning until they made a chaotic interference. Liberty is a biological daughter, too...but you dont hear anything from her. Also, Casey was with was happily living with his 2nd family.
I wanted to give Jean the benefit of the doubt at first (having just experienced watching a loved one die, and making some very hard decisions) but... Her actions of; going against the Dr's, moving him around, him trying to escape her care legally, and of course her isolating him from his family, and hiding his gravesite, just shows what a malignant narcissist she is. The first thing an abuser does, is isolate their victim. When you love someone who is dying, you do everything you can to comfort them physically and emotionally. You also notify others who love them, to come and say their goodbyes. She was a trophy wife, knew it, likely resented playing the role and riding his coattails after a while but stuck with it for the riches, and she obviously resented/hated the people Casey truly loved. She kept saying 'I was afraid'... Afraid of what? The only answer to that question is that she was 'afraid' she would lose control of her golden ticket, 'Casey the American Icon', that she buried in Norway for f-cks sake. RIP Casey. You deserved a better wife, and a better ending to your amazing life.
She was afraid of no longer being the center of attention is what I believe. No one was out to get them. They could’ve stayed at their stately home until the end of his days and been comfortable. She could’ve let his children come to visit.
@@ddurall5916 I think she was scared of him putting his daughters on his life insurance and him taking her off of it, or him lowering the amount to something she would not like. She is evil burying him in another country, against his wishes, just so his kids couldn't go see him. That is an action of a low life evil individual.. She deserves all the bad karma that will catch up with her one day.
I disagree my hospitalized husband was being hounded and they were telling me what doctors he should see etc. where he should go... they were always visiting when he needed rest. As a person who was hospitalized, I don't want company all over me I want peace. I am his wife and love him so why does this make them more capable than me? Because I am not their mother who passed away years ago? Kids need to give room to their parents. Some parents aren't capable of decisions. Where were they when they needed help? They show up after the fact.
Children always will blame the stepmother, my advise: keep monsters children away, 90% of them are demons! I passed for theater experience, people just talked without knowing nothing, shame on them!
The daughter did the right thing. I've worked in a care home, working besides hospice, urinary tract infection, septic shock, and "bed sores" are all signs of neglect. So very sad for such a legend 🥺
@@kadianhancel1423 That is true but doesn't make a difference in this case. He is one man with millions of dollars and people who loved him. One .an with at least two caretakers, his wife and her best friend taking care of him He should not have a bedsore that went to the bone.
What type of woman stops the love of her life’s children from seeing him in his last dying months… sounds like she was trying to cover up some horrible things she did. A father deserves to be surrounded by his children…
It takes a GREAT WHILE TO GET A BEDSORE TO THE BONE. Someone was asleep at the wheel for a long time.Mr.Kasem did not have enough fluids either, thus the UTI. What was the other illness? Another infection? I Remember looking at the wedding pictures of Casey Kasem and this latest trainwreck.I remember thinking, that woman is foolish, because she valued attention more than truth and beauty... I thought all this about her because of one thing- her wedding hat.
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that a multi millionarie could get such a serious bedsore when the wife could have hired round the clock care. She is a loon and negligent
How could Jean and her psycho Snoopy friend say he was in absolutely no pain? He had a STAGE 3 ulcer. An open sore through to the bone. That woman is evil. How could she say the doctor’s report on admission to the hospital is a lie. They removed his hydration because his organs were failing. He would have been bloating and in pain if hydration was continued.
There was "no" grade three bedsore, only a minor bedsore that was almost healed. From the way Casey screamed he wanted to remain in the care of his second wife, it is highly doubtful he had any kind of lung infection. Stop reading all of the propaganda about this matter.
@@clarkgable2733 It's all in the medical records that have been made public, so I'm not sure why you're trying to refute it. You can look up the records yourself online and see them with your own eyes if you don't believe me. You're the one citing propganda. Unsubstantiated assertions made by the woman who abused him. She never even refers to him by his first name. It's always "Casey Kasem". She's a narcissist who was jealous of the love he had for his children.
@@clarkgable2733 this is simply false. Even they said he couldn’t speak and would only make “a whisper sound” him screaming was extremely unlikely. Also these are doctor records the sore was real.
I can’t help but notice hardly anyone mentioning how this wonderful man was pulled around chaotically like a piece of property on his death bed. What a horrific way to end your life.
Exactly .. nonetheless it was negligence on all involved.. and as much the doctors as the family really.. I know I know.. doctors only have so many rights .. but still .. if they were more convincing maybe he would have stayed put and got better .. who knows.. rip to the legend
I’m sure the doctors knew the chaos he was subjected to and realistically Casey was probably declining in health because of it…. It wouldn’t surprise me if the doctors gave an okay order to just end it all for him considering it’s a grey area easily approvable with his declining health on paper & more humane to put him out of his misery then continue the charade.
This unfortunately is not uncommon. A wealthy man marries a much younger 2nd wife and she resents and is bitter about his children with the 1st wife. Doesn't want to share her husband with his own children. Afraid somehow the father might give something to them that leaves her less. Hiding his burial plot in a foreign country with no marker is pure spite. I could literally feel the evil coming off of her even from a video. Karma comes eventually Jean.
@@Davido50 very true. I'm in the step mom position, and I made it a point to befriend the ex and always put his time with the kids first. It is selfish, and destructive for that matter, to be any other way
The evil and obvious sense of the lights being on but NOBODY being home, this man deserved so much better...EVERYONE should steer clear of anyone that reminds them of this woman😳😳😳
The way Caseys wife Jean answered the “are you crazy” question at 29:33 was just a touch crazy. Not to mention an ailing Casey was in some lady’s house, in a room full of Snoopy dolls, a bedsore to the bone, UTI and a lung infection, yeah they were taking care of him.
Wow. The cause of death is obvious. He was 82 with a stage 3 DTI and urosepsis and they moved him. When your body is old and frail and already healing from infection, the stress of transportation is deadly. You can’t stick people in different environments and not expect stress, and once you have exhausted all reserves, stress kills. Our bodies are all about energy. Once depleted, you die.
I wish my state had visitation laws. My dad died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2018. I told my dad many times, while he was still doing really good, that I wanted to be there for him, and help take care of him. He kept telling me to talk to his wife about it. Well, his wife liked me about as much as i liked her, and we never talked about it because she flew my dad's sister down here, from Seattle, to help her take care of him. She never asked me, though I was only 45 minutes away. My dad's sister left about 3 months before he died and drove back to Seattle in the truck my dad gave her for helping take care of him. I dont know why she left when she did, but she mysteriously died about a week or two after she arrived back in Seattle. I asked my dad's wife if I could stay with him that night, and I would just sit in the chair. She gave me a weird look, and said "No, she didnt want me to stay". I calmly asked her why, and she said she "didnt want the drama." I was shocked as hell by what she said, but I didnt want to start trouble, so I just left. I cussed her out for 45 minutes, while driving home. Next day, she calls me, and tells me to get back down there right away because he'd taken a turn for the worse. I immediately went back down there, and I was able to tell him, "Dad, I'm here." He whispered part of my name, but eyes no longer focused. They looked like they were frightened and searching. Right after that, he fell into a coma. I stayed that night, sitting in a chair next to him. I touched nothing, ate nothing, removed my shoes at the door, brought a day pack with a change of clothes, so I made no messes either. I asked for nothin and made no noise. I just listened to my dad's tortured breathing all night. I wanted to have as much time with him as I could. In the morning, my dad was in the final stages of dying...at 1307 hours, I got up from my chair and went to check on my dad. I heard no breath sounds. There was no pulse. Blood had started to build up in his lower lip. I put my head on his chest and started to wail. I had to go outside. She made me drive home like this. Not like family. She called me back down the next day to split up some pictures, and some other things. i didnt want to go. My dad was gone. I didnt want to do anything but sit down and cry. Things didnt go very smoothly as far as her supposed to be giving my sons whatever their gramps willed to them. She had already promised to give me a bit of my dad's ashes to put into a necklace, then she withheld them because she was trying to use the ashes as a hostage, so she could coerce me to come back down there so she could tell me some "big secret." She badgered me so bad about this "big secret," that I started to think she was up to something, so I just stopped playing. I may not have that tiny speck of my dad's ashes, but I have something better: I have his DNA, and I'm his only child. It also doesnt hurt that I am the female twin to my dad. I look exactly like him, and even our crooked fingers matched! I dont see her or talk to her anymore, and Im relieved not to have to. She was never nice to me. I was just thankful that I was an adult, and out on my own when they got married. She wasnt anywhere near as bad as Casey Kasem's wife. My dad's wife was like the kid who got a ribbon for participating, while Kasem's wife took 1st place.
Jean first said that she was only “allowed” to see Casey for five minutes at the end, and later she said she was “afraid” to go to the hospital. I keep remembering when I listen to her talk that she was an actress.
I took care of my dad when he was bedridden and dying. Bedsore that deep means that he wasn't looked after properly. And bed sores are so painful. Turns into sepsis.
The wife has such a phony vibe. Her pretentiousness started even at 1:08 on the wedding day. The melodramatic wiping off his tear (like she’s on a show) and her facial expression didn’t seem genuine. Her vocal fry is also very off-putting. She’s very painful to listen to! I pressed on because I want to know the full story. Her whisper at 2:05 about how she’d told him she loved him also seemed dodgy. Something definitely is not right with this woman. It’s likelier that this woman is a gold-digger(compared to the children) & has a greater motive to want Casey dead. Casey’s son Mike hosts a radio show in Singapore where I come from. Mike’s voice sounds so much like his father’s!
When he was removed from that lady’s house with a stage 3 ulcer, UTI, and a number of other medical complaints, how was no one arrested right then and there ? If I left my dog in a house in those conditions I’d be charged. This whole situation was a mess. Poor Casey
But according to them he was being taken care of. I took care of my husband, at home, for eight years and he had a stroke. At the hospital his attending doctor and the hospital said that they had never seen a better taken care of person. A person being properly taken care of does NOT have a UTI, lung infection or a stage 3 bedsore. This is one case that shows that you need to documented paperwork and a durable power of attorney expressing what YOU want.
I just don’t understand how there were no charges filed based on the multiple doctors and coroners reports as to his condition and cause of death which would’ve never happened if she didn’t rip him out of the hospital. Not to mention removing his feeding tube and IV fluids which were both needed as nourishment as well as aiding in his survival. Even when the doctors report that was given to the police was read to her stating she was setting up his demise and her answer was “that’s not true.” She said it again about what the hospital doctor said after the daughter got him admitted back. Like nope, your right, the doctors know nothing and didn’t advise you of anything. Yet what they said would happen happened, but that must “not be true” either. This is one of the craziest stories I’ve heard in a long time and I truly can’t believe she got a settlement and not an orange jumpsuit and either bars or a padded room!
I definitely 💯 agree with the children. Casey NEVER should have been moved from the first hospital in Santa Monica, CA. By the time he got to the hospital in Washington state, he had a Urinary Tract Infection (extremely deadly as, if you do not treat it in the early stages, the infection can go directly to the brain.) Sepsis (an infection of the blood. If not treated in the early stages will cause death.) and a Stage 3 Ulcer. (Caused by Casey laying on his back for extended periods of time and not being turned on his sides.) These conditions were all caused by Jean’s decision to remove Casey from the first hospital and Casey not receiving proper medical treatment. These are just my opinions based on first hand experience. May Casey RIP. ✌🏻💖🌺
Ya clearly was in that bed and not bathed properly or prob at all or moved around at all. Prob in so much pain. No way he wasn't. I've been caregiver and I've seen it happen. Sometiems u can't help it cause they just can't move and it's alot. But she just wanted to keep him away from his loved ones and made a awful situation way way worse. Just sickening
Jean is a sociopath and should have been criminally charged. The spouse should not have 100 percent control. No one should ever be denied access to a family member. It’s wrong on so many levels
Casey fell for her aesthetic - blonde and blue eyed - and saw her as a status symbol. He brought this on himself like many men around the world. Unfortunately his children from his first marriage to his starter wife had to bear the brunt emotionally of his poor decisions
Yes. And I was surprised at how young the children were at the time of their father's second wedding. Casey didn't even wait for a midlife crisis before he left his first wife for Jean. Smart men can still be so dumb.
Totally agree. Lots of commenters are eulogizing him and looking at this fight as if it were only between the wife and kids. But he had a big role to play too - he brought this situation on his family by marrying a younger trophy wife as a man who already had a family.
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 And they were his children for 30+ years also, longer than she was his wife. If you can accuse them of being after the money only, we can accuse her of the same thing, and him for not caring for his children more.
The children were looking out for their fathers well being. They have the right to see him and we're concerned when the wife began isolating him, as anyone should be. His wife did not act in her husband's best interest and she alone is responsible for the "tug of war".
@@sarahdawn7075 she pulled. They pulled back. Tug of war. It takes 2 to play. Not one. Casey was caught in the middle regardless of who was right and who was wrong.
ANYONE who prevents a dad from seeing his children during the last months/days of his life, is PURE EVIL. So disgusting…HE was unable to make that decision….morally it was NOT Jeanie’s RIGHT to keep them from him. Makes me sad to think of being kept from my parent as they are declining 😢
The wife worked so hard to keep the kids away from their father, even while he was dying… her winning was more important than letting him see his kids. Even after all that, they alerted her to come and see him while he was about to die. That says a lot.
I don't understand why Jeanne chose drama, tension instead of focusing on her husband's love for his children and putting that into making his final chapter peaceful. Instead Jeanne chose pettiness, vindictiveness and spite to prevent his own flesh and blood from spending time with their father. Sheesh that woman was something else.
She complains she only had a few moments with him at the end but how many moments did she take away from his kids? She took him off life support and took him away and now she wants him back on?
@@moocowtoyou I agree… without knowing the story at all within a few minutes of watching Jean, I thought… this woman is lying. Her body language was so practiced but truth has a ring to it & that bell was silent.
The fact the kids still called his crazy wife and gave her 5min to say goodbye, says a lot about them. It's obvious she was not going to do the same for them!
Hydrating someone whose organs are shutting down is cruel. It doesn’t go into their organs but goes into “third spaces” which is painful and makes them bloat. I learned this from a hospice nurse when my dad was dying.
*I am an Enemy of the Government!!!!* *LEAD in Organic Dark ChocoLate Bars, in NorMaL Grocery Stores!!!* *NO WARNING LABELS!!!!* *Neither Trump nor Biden has EVER said a Peeep!!!!!*
You've obviously never worked in a nursing home. When one is nearing death the body functions start shutting down & cellular repair virtually stops making healing bed sores extremely difficult. Also, the majority of bed sores occur at points on the body that tend to have the thinnest skin & most pressure against the bed (shoulder blades, tail bones, elbows even heels) so the claim of it being, "...almost to the bone" is an inflammatory statement geared to bias your opinion!
So true. I’ve worked in nursing homes. And those sores happen so quickly. Nursing homes are seriously understaffed, they do the absolute best anyone can do
After watching my fil pass lies than a month ago, I understand both sides but I also went through home health training and was a nurse assistant for years off and on. The breaking down of the skin can happen before you even know it UNLESS YOU ARE THE ONE CONSISTENTLY BATHING THE PATIENT AND CHANGING BEDDING. However I know at the end of life there hospice to help... something was definitely up with the wife though but I'm only half way through this so far. The kids stood to inherit a ton of money in sure but.. IDK 🤷♀️
The fact that she wouldn’t care for him personally says it all…or at least get someone to assist her caring for him. Kept sticking him in homes so she wouldn’t have to care for him. Caring for someone ailing is love.
@@wholewheatstingray Yeah, you turn a single instance into fake multiples, but instead of admitting it, you want to know why I am commenting. I can do that, and I don't owe you any explanation.
Jean can not dispute what the doctor diagnosed when his kids brought him to the hospital. Kasey had a list of preventable, treatable ailments that Jean had let happen.
He married her, he was happy, undoubtedly had a great sex life with her. Who cares what his kids think? It was his life and his decisions. They all want the money, that's it, nothing else.
@@classicstorm Great reply back. I get really sick of some of these narcissists acting like they actually "won" the game of life by playing dirty. (As if the rest of us did it wrong by not playing dirty like they did). Assuming the best about the person you're applying to, almost want to be open-minded until I read that she's supposedly "not crazy." Frankly, that's just how psychos think. (I'm not asserting authority on what the mental status is of the person you were applying to, but I've got to wonder with a comment like that of theirs?)
Why do they both seem like liars?! The y both are putting on the drama for the camera as if they’re acting for an award. I don’t believe Jean but the daughter is goofy too.
To call her an actress is an insult to other actresses. I grew up listening to Casey on the radio. My parents had a camp and we would go every weekend. Driving home on Sundays, my dad had him on in the car. I loved Casey and just listening to him made me love music. I looked forward to his countdowns. Rip sweet man. I’m sorry to his children, I hope all of you find some sort of peace through this. Casey would want that ❤
I grew up listening to Casey Kasim every weekend. And I didn’t even know he was the voice of my favorite cartoon (born in Early 70’s). Pure nostalgia. Great, warm fuzzy memories.
@@mandyellis876 He was "OUR" Treasure. Everywhere around the Metro-Detroit area was a Billboard with his face promoting Wayne State University. Kasem enrolled at Wayne State University, majoring in Speech Education.
@@lindamon5101 Oscar? That was such a hack-job of emotion. I'd have bust out laughing if the end results weren't so serious. Bedsores (decubitis ulcers to THE BONE, Sepsis, dehydration), are extremly fatal conditions and should have the best of Medical treatment and care. *Well, in the FIRST PLACE, if he was cared for properly at the family friends' house-the "Nurse Aide", I doubt he'd be so gravely ill.
I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!
This man, Casey Kasem was a national treasure. Everybody who grew up in the 70s and 80s and 90s remember, hearing his voice he was horribly abused. Medically he was taken advantage of because he was incapacitated. It makes me so angry to see him suffer like he did, I hope he’s at peace. Thanks for all the lovely memories Casey. 🙏🙏👑🌈💛💗
In my opinion the wife and the children both treated Casey kasem like the rope in a tug of war.. surely there could have been better ways to solve their issues than to put him in the middle as the rope.. despicable really.
This episode is making me rage. My late father was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. This is a horrible disease that took my father away from us at such a young age of only 67. My mother took care of my dad 24/7, going from normal food, to soft food, to only liquids to none. My dad was a skeleton when he passed away and as painful as this was for us, I can only imagine for him. He had also an open wound in his lower back, these are normal due to being bed ridden. With all the care my mom gave him, switching positions, changing him, etc, he still got it. Towards the end when they only eat soft or liquid food, they also tend to get neumomia or liquid in their lungs, they are laying down and only propped up a bit to inhale these fluids. It happens, the deterioration on a Lewy body patient is so rapid, it’s very impacting from one week to the next. To me, in this case, taking away from all the craziness was the best for him. These patients need peace, love, tranquility and rest. I believe their daughters made everything worse. If they really loved like they say, why not come over and make peace with his caregiver (wife) and help around the house to care for him. Only the person taking care of a patient knows how much work it is and the told it takes on you. When I would go help my mom I would appreciate her so much more. She was the reason my dad lasted in hospice for 31/2 years bed ridden. She would wake up daily with a purpose and that was to keep my dad alive that day. RIP
I don't know...I do think she probably loved him (in her own twisted way). They were married 34 years. The wife couldn't stand Casey loving anyone else. Moving him like she did was elder abuse for sure. She was controlling and wacky.
All we need to know is that he was in a lot of pain with an open wound to his bone, sepsis, and a urinary tract infection and that crazy wife kept saying “he wasn’t in pain.” She’s an abuser. Those poor children.
Without his medical history/condition, (and maybe a MD), there is really no way to rule a cause of death...Seeing as how the coroner confirmed natural causes...? One thing I DO KNOW, is that they perform due diligence in cases with a sizeable estate up for grabs...In other words, not enough evidence for anything other than natural disease progression...And, blood tests aren't that specific. The tox screen was clear; Which, is pretty much all they had to go on...The state would need to PROVE a case of starvation( not easy in his declining state...) Do I think the wife was crooked? Yes, but I cant prove it either!!!
She was "implying", he was getting pain medication...No way to know. Only "suspect"; Which, is all the state had to go on...IMPOSSIBLE to even investigate(much less indict, seeing as how natural causes was the official COD...) Best we can hope for is the estate is bankrupt by the time this is done...? "Just split the $, and be done with it", is the most rational response...
Ten year hospice nurse here. Two minutes and thirty seconds into the recording, I heard her mention that ‘they removed his hydration, nutrition, and all proactive medical care’. Was he receiving hospice care? If so, this seems like standard procedure for individuals in the end stages of life who are experiencing difficulty swallowing.
That's what I was thinking, too. Having a UTI near the end of life is also common and you decide whether to treat it or not. Some people at the end of life decide they don't want to treat an infection and they just let things take their course.
I truly believe that Jean, Casey's wife, is a terrible human being. I am completely convinced that she is the Aggressor & playing the victim at the same time. I wasn't surprised when they said she was an actress - completely explains her cold demeanor. She effectively made Casey die before his time would have come, she kept his own children away from him & tried to seize all assets and cut off financial support to her step children. No matter whether she gets away with it or not - One day she will have to answer for her actions.
@@LadyBGoode-gr8wm I think both parties have some degree of blame in this. The man was terminally ill and nobody would let the man die in peace. What it boils down to is that Casey was the patriarch of two different families that couldn't get along. And all of their tactics was more about getting back at the other person than finding any compromise in the situation. Hence, the unmarked grave.
I think it's most likely that the wife chose that. My guess is that she was being vindictive and had to have the final say, even at the very end. Also, guilty conscience.
@@deltasyn7434it’s clear that he not only needed top notch care, but could afford such. Instead his devious, sociopath wife moved him from facility to facility and even went as far as to remove his feeding tube and IV against the doctors orders. I don’t know what interview you watched or what world you’re living in, but the kids only wanted the best care for their dying father while the wife, a blatant pathological liar, clearly only wanted him for his money. All blame lies with Jean Thompson- Kasem. Edit: that unmarked grave that you reference, IN NORWAY, has nothing to do with the children. It should tell you everything you need to know that she took his body to some faraway place that he had no business being in, and couldn’t even be bothered to mark his grave. It’s probably to not only spit on him, but to prevent the children from doing a proper autopsy and finding out the further abuse that this vile woman perpetrated onto him.
The Dramatic acting of the poor widowed wife is sickening! *Sorry, but I can't believe anything she says either... **_when it's said with such theatrics!_* Plus if she loved him so much...why didn't she take care of him herself? _Especially if she loved him as much as she's trying to convey!
The daughters on the video having their sick dad put his signature on those document', for his money at a freakkking store says alot about them...he don't look good lost too.... No lawyers, it says alot about them too , BOTH SIDES I FEEL FAILED HIM.. They fighting for his money...the wife should had him comfortable at his home ,he had enough money to be taken care off too... THEY ALL ACTED ON THEIR OWN WANTS !!!
The wife took Casey to Norway to keep him away from his children. The woman is so evil. Shame on her. She didn't love him. She was just trying to punish his family. She is disgusting. One day karma will come for her. I hope she gets no peace now or ever for doing that to that beautiful man. His final monts should of been surrounded by all his loved ones. RIP Casey. You are so loved and always will be.
My mother had dementia. Any body who has had a loved one with the disease knows that removing them from a place of care is the worse thing you can do and accelerates their demise. The wife did this more than once. Also, anytime there is a UTI there is a worsening of the dementia and the overall health of the patient, Kasey had a UTI and an ulcer and sepsis! The wife should be found guilty of elder abuse, but so should that nurses assistant!
I worked with Alzheimer/Dementia patients for many yrs. Everything you said is the absolute truth! Taking them away from the only environment they know is not only detrimental but cruel as well. I understand it's not always feasible to keep them at home but in this case he could had stayed at home and had nurses with him. And a UTI is the first thing you check for when there is a significant change in mood. I grew up listening to him and was both shocked and saddened when he passed.
@Jen Long and Merryn Price - yep, my mother has vascular dementia, and has had two UTIs in the last two years. She also has diabetes. Each time she had to be moved first to a hospital, then a rehabilitation clinic. She’s at the point where she doesn’t recognize any of us (her children), and all she knows is where she lives, an assisted living facility for people who need maximal assistance. To move someone in anything like this state is so reckless, and frankly doesn’t sound like a loving action at all. Just selfish. Whether her motivation was money or control, it would likely lead to (at the very least) a rapid diminishment of health and comfort. My mom was a nurse since 1959, worked for Cook County Public Health for decades, ran STD clinics and taught assistant nursing at the Chicago community colleges after retirement. Thankfully she took out disability insurance for many years, otherwise our family would not be able to cope financially, and provide her with the care she needs. She also taught us about what to do, where to go, if she ever was no longer able to be fully independent. I can say for certain that CK’s wife did the wrong thing, whatever her reasons. Personally, to me, she sounds a bit paranoid. And it wouldn’t surprise me if she was a narcissist who wanted control for various reasons including money. I’ve also had experience with a criminally minded narcissist in my life, so I’m either better-informed or biased, take your pick.
While she shed real tears, Jean does not come across as believable. She comes across as dramatic. And while Kerri comes across as angry, it's totally understandable. How very sad that Casey seemed to live a very unsettled life with his wife, which also affected his children. I'm so sorry to hear all of these details. 💔
I worked as a Registered Nurse for 47 years, I would believe a medical report before I believed that 2nd wife and her friend, clearly he didn’t get the appropriate care, the way he was removed from other hospital was appalling, then the report showed his medical state after family were able to get him to hospital, he surely must have had pain with those ulcers, which friend denied. The state of him on that admission is straight out neglect, The poor man, after all that woman did, to him and his family she was lucky to get ANY time. The medical team were working in Casey’s best interest, it is hard to let them go, I don’t believe he was killed, it was natural causes. This situation was so very sad, his widow was obstructive even after his death. To deny his children a farewell is evil!!!!
Her actions are clearly questionable. moving someone out of assisted care to a friend in Seattle? WTF? what does montreal or norway have to do with the price of tea in china. I smell a rat and it is emanating from the wife.
YES. I agree. Like my grandma always taught us kids when we were growing up, "God is watching" and "God don't like ugly". Don't worry. She will get hers. Payback is a 'you know what'.
OK after that ridiculous 'faint' I'm not buying anything that woman is selling. And the weird meat throwing!! To move him was insane. If she really thought it was dangerous then have security employed to watch him all the time and watch what the children do if they get in again. That ulcer tho shows he was not being cared for with his wife. So sad. He was all our childhoods. May he rest in peace.

Thanks so much for uploading on RUclips ❤❤❤ I love your shows the most but can’t watch from Switzerland
Shame on the evil wife...justices for their dad❤
I hope a Judge can do something about that POS gold digger
and make sure His children get their fathers estate left to them because that pos lady doesn’t deserve anything
It’s obviously too late for them to see and take care of Him now
But @ least that old Devil shouldn’t be allowed any of Casem’s estate .
The fact that he is in an unmarked grave in the middle of Norway. And was an American radio icon. Says a whole lot about the wife.
Speaks volumes, loud & clear
This is what happens when you get involved with gold digger
Exactly
Tried to DELETE IT 4 OR 5 TIMES, nothing happened! So Delete it if you want to!
Harlet!!
With millions of dollars, Casey should have had a private doctor and nurse in his own home.
My thoughts exactly. With the money he had he should of had round the clock care at home. Instead she had him in a facility and moved him several times.
Absolutely 💯
I feel his 2nd wife wanted to save money 💰 for herself at ALL COSTS.
@@tracyshaffer4510 Sounds like the mailman was delivering the mail back at the mansion.
@@CatalinaFOIA or didn't want the burden. Maybe she wanted her freedom and with people in the house to witness it wouldn't have looked so good at his death.
Jean killed him. She could've given Casey round the clock care at his home in Bel-Air. His children and close friends could've visited and added months or maybe even years to his life. All the money he had and she dumps him in some crappy facility. She just wanted to separate him from his kids. She was so afraid he'd leave everything to them. Everything about her was fear-based, so insincere. Then she has him buried in Norway, in an unmarked grave!!??? He's an American icon!!! What kind of love is that??? She fixed it so that nobody could even pay their respects at his burial site. So cruel and spiteful. Oh, and that fake faint....
go back to acting school you old heifer.
Well stated 😂😂
😆 🤣 😂 😹....lol!!!
Well said.
#facts!!! ✌️
Agreed
As a nurse this case sickens me. Stepmother isolating husband from his children, withholding medical care, leading to a host of terminal (and preventable!) illnesses e.g. UTI, Stage III pressure ulcer, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. People, there are reasons why we keep fragile folks in medical care…those 5 diagnoses are preventable with proper medical supervision and interventions. Listen to your medical team…sheesh. This man deserved a more dignified and comfortable passing. RIP Casey, an American Icon!
Great points. The fact he had all those treatable/preventable issues says a lot about the kind of care he was receiving from his wife, Jeanie, and friend, Shasta, in Silverdale, Washington. I was surprised 48 Hours didn’t challenge Jeanie and Shasta more on that point. Casey should have been in a hospital, or at least under qualified medical care.
Ok but wasn't he in the rehab facility when all those things started? That ulcer didn't happen in a matter of days when she'd removed him... IDK it seems like he was in bad shape and dying regardless and both parties just made it harder on him and everyone involved.
@@earthdaddy💯
Even with proper medical supervision and the best of interventions, 82 year old patients with Parkinson’s still get UTIs, pressure ulcers, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.

Damn once he got sick she started playing hide n seek 😂 cold piece of work
The fact that she agreed to do this interview and didn’t think she’d come off as unhinged is telling
She’s a good actress!
She's a narcissist

I'd say his daughter is coming off just as unhinged and has all the hallmarks of a liar as well as his wife. This was 2 strong willed women arguing over money they didn't earn. Sickening behaviour from both
@@Eric-ts3mq Yep, you will know which family is materialistic or not. My parents own some properties, stocks, and other things of value. When my father died, my 3 siblings and I did not demand to get our share of the inheritance according to law. We signed an extrajudicial deed making our mom the sole owner of those properties my parents bought as a couple. We even told her to start selling her properties except her residence and enjoy the money from those sales because it is hard to keep more than one property when one is already old and the children do not want to have anything to do with those properties.
My ex worked with Casey on projects for several years. Casey was so kind and generous to everyone involved. He threw Christmas parties where he'd take over an entire Beverly Hills restaurant, one year adding tents to accommodate everyone.
Casey provided us with wonderful memories.
My impression of Jean at the parties, however, were not positive.
I've heard outtakes and he sounded like a DBag. Probably a perfectionist having a bad day, but the man had a temper occasionally. Still, no reason for the way he went out.
He had a UTI and a stage 3 bedsore? And he had no pain??? Hardly
Yes, he's was and is real ICON, for the people that met, very appreciative, educated, respectful, is a shame he is not longer with us.
@@micheleh5269
In all fairness, it’s common for elderly people to have asymptomatic UTIs. Often times, confusion is the only symptom. That being said, I am in no way defending that woman!
@@courtneyblue15 UTI yes, but not a bedsore of that severity. Unless they had him on pain meds
The fact that his kids contacted his wife so she could say goodbye, while she held a private burial in a foreign country speaks volumes.
I completely agree with you!!
Facts!
Exactly!
Unmarked grave
Yes and everything they did was above board and according to medical recommendation. She did everything secretive, allowed him to get a deep bedsore, uti went untreated, claimed he wanted to be buried in Israel and then buried him in Norway? Not to mention that she's insufferable
I worked as a home health aid for a short time, but I still remember my training. In order to avoid
Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), you must reposition the person at least every two hours. If his bed sores were to the bone, that would mean he was not taken care of at all! Jeannie and her friend Shasta are MONSTERS!!!
Not completely true. I had a resident that would turn herself right back on her back. Every time I’d go in, I’d turn her on a side, and by the time I got back for her next check, she was on her back again, no matter how many pillows I’d prop her up with. We could not restrain her. It was her choice to roll back over. She quit eating much, and lost all of her body fat. Developed a sore on her tail bone that went deep and required frequent would care. This was just assisted living, not a nursing home or skilled care facility. Her family and caregivers were very involved. She was very loved. I almost collapsed when she finally passed, but my coworker caught me. For several years after, son and daughter in law would call me on her birthday.
“He’s an American treasure”
*buried him in Norway*
That was just one last attempt to be spiteful. This lady was all about control.
She makes me think of Harry's wife....
Why if "he wanted to be buried in Israel??( foreing country, can not recall, correct name of country) why did Mrs. Kasem not do that & was buried in a foreign country "Norway" instead of back to USA?
Are his children bringing Casey's body back to USA? Or because of the settlement in 2019 by both parties wife & Kasem children did, his burial site is been kept a secret in USA as respect to Casey?

True, however, if your spouse is dying it’s only right that his family is allowed to visit him & for him to see his kids.
@@annajordan243 no way. Your children especially as a woman is just as important to you as your spouse. They are your progeny, your spouse is not. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.

Don't be cruel
I agree she did it just so they can’t visit him even in death what a horrible woman
Sociopath
That was the most fake faint I have ever seen roflmao 😂😂😂😂😂
If this guy was Casey the homeless guy, Robert Stack couldn't find any of these ingrates. It's the money, it's the money.
The thing that sucks most about this story is that Casey spent his last stretch of life watching his wife and his kids fight over him instead of having them all at his side comforting him.
She wouldn’t let those kids near him!!! She’s evil AF
But Casey is the one who chose to marry her. So ultimately, it's on him. And he chose her probably because she was a much younger woman.
She was a blonde trophy wife
She sounds pathetic, she loved his money not him.
Yes indeed and the crazy wife made sure he didn’t get that!
The wife didn’t help herself by talking to the media. She presents as the most unbelievable person.
I completely agree
True narcissist. They think they are fooling everyone. Her acting on here was as bad as it was on "Cheers".
She is a terrible actress! That was nothing but a performance, and a horrible one at that.
I don't believe her one bit
I believe the wife, not the daughter.
I've worked in Eldercare facilities & in home private care for 30 years. That nearly to the bone ulcer tells you all you need to know about how "well" Jeanie cared for him.
It's a pressure wound AKA as a bed sore & they are 100% PREVENTABLE.
As long as a patient is kept clean of bowel movements/urine & turned every 2 hours they won't get one.
Please note that mention of this wound was never charted/mentioned in the facility she yanked him out of at 2am.
What this woman did was play the ultimate end game of Power & Control thru Parental Alienation.
Absolutely
you don’t get a bedsore that badly in just a few days though
that takes time
I wonder if he wasn’t being turned long before she moved him
@@AKayfabe it was nearly to the bone. It would have had to have been in medical records and would have started to heal. You believe that it is more likely that miss snoopy (that said he wasn't a moment in pain, so either didn't know about the URI and sore, or was lying) was taking good care of him, and the multiple staff assisting him in rounds neglected him? ...wow
I work in Skilled nursing and long term care facilities and was thinking EXACT same thing. A man w that kind of money would be in a super nice SNF where he gets briefs changed regularly, best air mattresses money can buy, re-positioned every two hours (like you said).
Plus he has the UTI, Lung infections (aspiration PNA, I’m sure).
How do you hide a father from his children?
Your statement is 💯 % facts.
It appears Mr. C.K. health considerably declined when his wife removed him from the initial place of care...she seem to have a power struggle complex. Moving a patient from place to place put Mr. C.K. in distress...mentally and physically.
My opinion means nothing...but here you have it..the wife committed elder abuse including keeping his children from seeing their father...smh
Rest well soldier.
Let me see.She isolated himDischarged him against doctor's warning.Kept him in homecare where he had multiple infections.Wasn't there when he died.Made him rest in an unmarked grave.She is got control issues.I don't think it's just about the money, it's cruelty.
And when kids made him sign in a dozed off stage as wife claimed,they could have gone for power of attorney.Wife was fine throwing meat at daughter calling her dog,but she was worried to go to hospital to see her husband in death bed.How could see say that she only got 5 mins with him,when she wouldn't even allow his own kids the same?
And last,why would she agree for this interview?
Oh wow. His wife is out of her mind if she thinks people believe that bs story. His children had every right to fight for their father. His wife's carelessness, whether intentional or not, led to his death. What a tragedy.
The meat chucking thing really didn’t help her image, either. 🥴
Why couldn’t they all split the money so that everyone was happy. There was more than enough to go around. My fathers family did the same thing to me. People are so greedy!
@@AlabasterJar7 I wouldn't share money with a woman who was the cause of my father's death.
Yes, he needed medical care and his family's hearts around him in his last days.
@@AlabasterJar7 You pretty much answered your own question: She needed him to die BEFORE reviewing/updating his will, and she WAS NOT going to let that happen!!! NOW, they all get to split less $$$...
How could she say he wasn't in pain when he had a 3rd degree bed sore, septic shock, UTI, lung infection etc. That woman is completely delusional.
No, you are if you believe the hospital.
The woman is a sociopath. She was only in it for the money, it's so obvious p
Dr don't determine how much pain you're in, the patient does. Even if you can't speak, you can see heartrate n blood pressure go as pain meds wear off. Also, there are things that any Dr or nurse would know from experience n data that they are painful.....YES individual pain tolerance varies, but they'd know the difference btwn what conditions are ibuprofen pain vs morphine pain.
He was also 82 year old.. how about letting the man be happy
Right omg
As a nurse I can say from personal experience I would believe she was committing elder ab*se.
A stage 3 pressure ulcer and UTI are directly related to poor care over at least several days.
Absolutely deplorable...
the worst part about my job is not death but the family members who torment someone at the end.
As a Hospice RN I agree 100% with you.
ICU nurse here and I fully agree!! Also, for her to move him in the middle of the night, (plus stopping his abx from the facility for the UTI no doubt) surely shortened his life drastically. His wife killed him medically and he couldn't speak for himself. Keeping his kids from visiting and the buriel was just cruel above and beyond.
Totally agree. When she said that it was a lie that no one told her the risk of disconnecting him from his IV and Gtube I knew for a fact she was lying. There is no way medical staff just complied to her request without giving her the risks of that decision
Do we know if he had the ulcer when he left the first nursing home? It takes some time for that to set in right?
@@katetruthseeker2758 it doesn’t matter. He has several infections, several issues & was deteriorating all while family was trying to get him to a hospital & she was claiming he was doing well hidden in this home. That’s the red flag. He had these infections sore & she wasn’t bringing in doctors or taking him to get care, after doctors warned her her actions could cause him death AND he drastically changed in appearance from when she took him in the middle of the night.
She shouldn’t have kept his children from seeing their Dad. She could have insisted on supervised visits. The fact she unplugged him and took him out of the hospital against doctors orders is telling. Then she put him in a private house not a hospital. When the kids got him out of that house the doctors noted many health issues that occurred because he wasn’t under medical care. His wife basically killed him. Imho
The fact that Jean Kasem tried to keep her husband from his children tells me everything I need to know about her true character
Exactly my thoughts. Also - I can’t believe she never gifted a home to her “ long time best friend “.
She knew when she was answering phones why she was there . Actress sociopath.
yes, and why being so evil to baring him in another country. Why? Just to bother his first children?
Unfortunately things like this happen too often. A rich man with grown children marries a second time and the second wife tries to keep him from his children.
Exactly.
Kids would never want to harm their parents
The fact that Peter Van Sant asked the wife with a straight face “Are you crazy?” Makes him the OG of true crime journalism.
😂😂
She’s as crazy as a loon and it looks like Liberty got that same gene/Jean!
😂😂 he be cutting UP!!!
Agreed
🤣🤣 absolutely agree
A stage three ulcer is considered abuse. As a registered nurse I knew watching this that the second wife Genie was abusing him. She put him in a hospital bed in a house which is not equipped to take care of him. Listening to Jeannie and her friends who claimed that he was fine I knew right away they have no clue on how to care for an elderly individual with his needs. What a disgusting exploitation of an elderly wealthy man what a sad ending he had.
Did you notice what the friend said/did as she gave the tour and she showed where his so-called hospital bed was? At the foot of the double bed in a small bedroom. She motioned and said ‘His bed was right here.’ No chance a hospital bed wld fit in that room- esp once you consider all the other DME that wld be necessary. Also, with a Stage 3, he’d have a higher level pressure relieving mattress which generally takes up more space. Ohhhhhh, how I wish I cldve been there to ask her to name the manufacturer. That’s something an active caregiver wld know. It’s written all over the frame and the mattress.
At first, I don’t necessarily blame anyone for not having full knowledge of how to care for someone with tremendous and specific needs. But then, a normal person does all they can to find out! This clearly wasn’t a priority for his wife (or her friends, I guess, either).
I couldn’t handle my aunt’s end of life care by myself and she wanted to be at home, so we hired a home hospice service. Someone (a CNA or lpn) was with her (and me!) at all times and once a day an RN would stop in and look over everything.
Most people aren’t equipped to handle end of life care. That’s why hospices, home healthcare workers, and nursing homes exist. To keep patients as comfortable as possible and families sane.
This is the craziest amount of Bs that I have ever seen. I feel ashamed for all of them
@@polferiferus1938 His kids either. They just kept throwing him in care and the elder one is a P.A.
The fact that his wife had him buried in another country is just straight up malicious and wrong. That should tell you everything you need to know about her, that she would be so vicious and spiteful, towards his children that she would have him buried where they can’t even visit him after he’s dead! That’s sad and wrong on so many levels
Be ridiculous! They can go to Norway any time they please.
@@scallopohare9431 no- she made sure it was an unmarked grave.
I agree 100%... To withdraw hydration and food is just wrong! Your mouth hurts so BAD WHEN YOU MOUTH IS DRY THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH IS IN HORRIBLE PAIN...
@@scallopohare9431 I think the point is that she went against Casey's own wishes and didn't even bury him in America.
I wonder if legally he can't be exhumed from the grave there? It must have to do with some legal things something the wife is trying to hide
I used to listen to him until my parents moved us across the different states.
He has a lovely radio voice, you never get sick and tired of him on air .
He will be missed!
Anyone that has that voice, and acts that dramatic, is guilty. I swear. She plays perfectly into the classic damsel in distress cliche, and hooks people in with her soft innocent voice, overly dramatic communication, and over the top emotions. The way she talks sounds like a screenplay. It’s so obvious to many people , and it always saddens me when some genuine person falls for these types. They are either highly narcissistic, or full blown psychopaths. Either way both types are highly dangerous. Especially to the vulnerable
AMEN 🙏
Does she remind you of someone else too… Meghan Markle and Amber Heard 😩
Marriage is a playground for for these evil types.
Marriage is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.
@@chloek2207and she sounds like darlie routier. Ugh, it’s so gross that these women use an ‘innocent little girl’ voice to try convince people of their angelic innocence 😑
You worded that perfectly.
THE FACT THAT Jean would not let his children visit Casey tells me without a doubt the type of controlling, divisive and greedy individual she truly is.
She wanted him to think they didn’t care, so she’d inherit everything and be the life insurance beneficiary.
Sounds like they didn't like her anyway.....its a she says they say sort of thing.
Yes but the kids were doing sneaky things too. What’s the deal with whisking him off to a UPS store and having legal documents ready for him to sign? I worked in a nursing home also, as the social worker, and many times caught people trying to get the “soon to die” patient to sign legal paperwork. Both sides are guilty in this. Also if someone is at end of life you aren’t going to be treating most ailments.
It is perfectly normal if someone is at end of life to remove feeding tubes. Their body is preparing to shut down and they aren’t hungry.
@@kimberly9754 a feeding tube isn't about hunger, its about nutrition
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars," that was Casey's motto. As a young man I would listen and when older and traveling the world as a soldier it brought a little bit of home to wherever I was. Remember the long-distance dedications? I do. Rest in peace Casey, and thanks.
Remember? There's a reason reruns are still being played on the radio. :)

Still brings home, my youth and my mothers spirit (bc we listened on the home sterio) back to me, when I hear his voice. Esp. those famous words.
thank for posting this episode i never knew how he died or anything about his family issues
Team Kids all the way - Jean is a terrible actress and her attempt to turn sympathy toward herself fails miserably. She clearly terrorized those kids and made choices that led to Casey's death. The ulcer in his back (to the bone!!) was the game changer for me. Snoopy Nurse Lady didn't notice that??? Don't tell me it developed in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Eyeroll.
You know, I agree with you on every point. I was laughing out loud at her dramatic interview responses. But I have to tell you, if my step-kids took their dad with dementia off to create legal documents that left me out of the loop.....I'm not going to have a good reaction to that. If Casey was able to clearly state what he wanted then they definitely should have gotten it on video, and that makes me think they were up to shenanigans. What Casey really should have done was get it all down on paper the moment he knew he had a disease that caused dementia.
As for the ulcer on his back, that didn't happen overnight. Bed ridden patients get them, even with the best of care, and often they can only be managed, not cured. It's likely he'd had it some time and everyone who provided care to him knew about it. What is more concerning is Jean had his feeding tube removed. There was absolutely no reason to do that other than to be switching to Comfort Care/End of Life Care. Nothing else makes sense, because why would you remove it? I can just about promise you (I'm a nurse) it was put in because he couldn't swallow.....that means he wasn't getting the hydration he needed, and I would say that is where the infections and organs shutting down came from. Most people don't live past a week once hydration is stopped. Without that tube he likely couldn't take medications or anything else. By the time the kids got him back to the hospital it was all too late.
What surprised me is that Jean didn't say she and Casey had decided that once he wasn't able to swallow his own food or if there came a time when he didn't recognize his family that he would be removed from care and allowed to pass. She could have effectively made a case for "Casey wanted to die at home and that was decided long before any of this happened." Maybe no one would have bought it since she had him in nursing homes? Again, if Casey had made a living will the moment he found out he had dementia, it would have prevented a lot of this.
I still think the kids are most genuine and cared about their dad. Jean clearly was being spiteful right up to the end.
@@msdarby515 - thank you! It's interesting to hear a nurse's perspective on this. Regarding the documents, though, I can understand if they believed their dad was being mistreated that they'd try to find a legal way to take over his care. Yes, the method was questionable but in a desperate situation, I can see why they'd do it. As for the ulcer, what you said makes sense. Maybe that wasn't the "smoking gun" to show mistreatment. But yes, I think we're all in agreement that Jean is in the wrong overall.
I disagree .....he had the money to have the medicine ,nice air rotation mattress and nursing care to heal.....no excuses
They removed his water, food, and medical care but you are team kids. Wow.
Greedy kids don’t serve a penny!!! They didn’t make the money and they dehydrated their father to death
I love when someone tries to cry and nothing comes out. What a piece of work that woman is
SHE SOUNDED AND LOOKED SOOO FAKE.
I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!
She is honestly worse than Amber Heard! 😂 😂 😂
Of course someone would reply by bringing her up. How original
@Amadis Dee is he not bound to his children as well? How do they have no say in this situation?
Someone who has a stage 3 bedsore that is to the bone is in excruciating pain. For his wife and her friend to say otherwise is just an outright lie. This is horrible and I feel badly for Casey he deserved better than this.
Exactly what was going on with my grandfather... until his wifes death a few months ago.... he's in much much better health!
He did marry her
@@ellenfoster9764 yes he did, but it's obvious by her actions she has issues. Hiding him, moving him around against doctors orders, keeping his family away from him, throwing frozen meat at people is not the behavior of someone who is in their right mind.
@@ellenfoster9764 and??

Casey created all this drama in his life ... Period. He picked this wife & whatever issues he fostered between his kids.
Obviously you don't want to about how fake and manipulative women can be.
Why should he have ever been made to choose?…That’s absolutely ridiculous. People remarry. You never see this behavior toward a mother and stepdad. It’s so stupid! He deserved to be happy. These people are insane.

Oh, boy..
You related to her?
He picked a weird one, and knew it. He mightve been off his rocker by age 50.
It’s instantly obvious his wife is lying. She comes across as a vengeful and selfish control freak who couldn’t handle Casey’s health, but also wanted to punish his kids by withholding him from them. It’s truly sad how times like these can bring out the worst in people.

@@BrianCarnevaleB2682 is just as old for Casey Casem as it us regular people.
From what I have read, Norway does not embalm bodies so that they decompose more rapidly and entirely, as graves are apparently re-used after 20 years. I guess she was counting on that if the children were successful in court, there would be nothing to bring back.
"I believe it was early in the morning" is a great example of a liar not being ready to respond to a question.
You have to be cold hearted to deny children, estranged or not, the chance to say goodbye to their father. 😢
Crocodile tears reptilian eyes
Casey wasn't ready to say goodbye. He could have lived much longer. How do you take someone away from the loving care of his wife and family and starve and dehydrate them to death???
She belongs in prison. She did everything to secure his money and help him die faster. Even hiding him
Casey was not at end of life. He responded well to treatment, was alert, cognizant, knew who he was, where he was, carried on a conversation with a Washington State police officer, was very upset that the children from his first marriage were involved in his business, and protested bitterly about being removed from the loving care of his wife and daughter.
@@AngryIrishMan All of the money Casey had, he earned with his second wife, Jean.
The moment Jean ordered his feeding tube and IV removed, against medical advice , is what did it for me. I'm with his children on this
Edit: In his condition, he should not have been moved. They didn't turn him in his bed, causing the bed sore leading to sepsis. At 82, with preexisting medical issues, he would not have recovered. How can she say he wanted to be buried in Israel, then bury him in Norway??? She did nothing, but play games with this man's life and death. it's sickening
She had decided that she had waited long enough for that money, IMO.

@@jewbego5323 What’s the matter? Not going to correct her double spaces between words as well?
I wanted to give Jean the benefit of the doubt at first (having just experienced watching a loved one die, and making some very hard decisions) but... Her actions of; going against the Dr's, moving him around, him trying to escape her care legally, and of course her isolating him from his family, and hiding his gravesite, just shows what a malignant narcissist she is.
The first thing an abuser does, is isolate their victim. When you love someone who is dying, you do everything you can to comfort them physically and emotionally. You also notify others who love them, to come and say their goodbyes.
She was a trophy wife, knew it, likely resented playing the role and riding his coattails after a while but stuck with it for the riches, and she obviously resented/hated the people Casey truly loved.
She kept saying 'I was afraid'... Afraid of what? The only answer to that question is that she was 'afraid' she would lose control of her golden ticket, 'Casey the American Icon', that she buried in Norway for f-cks sake.
RIP Casey. You deserved a better wife, and a better ending to your amazing life.
She was afraid of no longer being the center of attention is what I believe. No one was out to get them. They could’ve stayed at their stately home until the end of his days and been comfortable. She could’ve let his children come to visit.

Well- said!!! 👊🏾
And better kids
I disagree my hospitalized husband was being hounded and they were telling me what doctors he should see etc. where he should go... they were always visiting when he needed rest. As a person who was hospitalized, I don't want company all over me I want peace. I am his wife and love him so why does this make them more capable than me? Because I am not their mother who passed away years ago? Kids need to give room to their parents. Some parents aren't capable of decisions. Where were they when they needed help? They show up after the fact.
This is insane. I had never heard this about his family drama. Honestly, his wife sounds like an abuser and should be ashamed of herself

How could Jean and her psycho Snoopy friend say he was in absolutely no pain? He had a STAGE 3 ulcer. An open sore through to the bone. That woman is evil. How could she say the doctor’s report on admission to the hospital is a lie.
They removed his hydration because his organs were failing. He would have been bloating and in pain if hydration was continued.
Casey had a grade 3 bedsore on his back, a UTI and a lung infection and Jean and her buddy still insist he wasn't in any pain! Unbelievable.
Poor guy. 😔
There was "no" grade three bedsore, only a minor bedsore that was almost healed. From the way Casey screamed he wanted to remain in the care of his second wife, it is highly doubtful he had any kind of lung infection. Stop reading all of the propaganda about this matter.

So the doctor is also a liar…right…
Exactly .. nonetheless it was negligence on all involved.. and as much the doctors as the family really.. I know I know.. doctors only have so many rights .. but still .. if they were more convincing maybe he would have stayed put and got better .. who knows.. rip to the legend
I’m sure the doctors knew the chaos he was subjected to and realistically Casey was probably declining in health because of it….
It wouldn’t surprise me if the doctors gave an okay order to just end it all for him considering it’s a grey area easily approvable with his declining health on paper & more humane to put him out of his misery then continue the charade.

This unfortunately is not uncommon. A wealthy man marries a much younger 2nd wife and she resents and is bitter about his children with the 1st wife. Doesn't want to share her husband with his own children. Afraid somehow the father might give something to them that leaves her less. Hiding his burial plot in a foreign country with no marker is pure spite. I could literally feel the evil coming off of her even from a video. Karma comes eventually Jean.

He was under the care of a doctor and had nurses aides. Three days after the kids got him he died.
Wow. The cause of death is obvious. He was 82 with a stage 3 DTI and urosepsis and they moved him. When your body is old and frail and already healing from infection, the stress of transportation is deadly. You can’t stick people in different environments and not expect stress, and once you have exhausted all reserves, stress kills. Our bodies are all about energy. Once depleted, you die.
Truth. It wasn’t suspicious that he died but that he was moved. A doctor had to sign that off.

I wish my state had visitation laws. My dad died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2018. I told my dad many times, while he was still doing really good, that I wanted to be there for him, and help take care of him. He kept telling me to talk to his wife about it. Well, his wife liked me about as much as i liked her, and we never talked about it because she flew my dad's sister down here, from Seattle, to help her take care of him. She never asked me, though I was only 45 minutes away. My dad's sister left about 3 months before he died and drove back to Seattle in the truck my dad gave her for helping take care of him. I dont know why she left when she did, but she mysteriously died about a week or two after she arrived back in Seattle. I asked my dad's wife if I could stay with him that night, and I would just sit in the chair. She gave me a weird look, and said "No, she didnt want me to stay". I calmly asked her why, and she said she "didnt want the drama." I was shocked as hell by what she said, but I didnt want to start trouble, so I just left. I cussed her out for 45 minutes, while driving home. Next day, she calls me, and tells me to get back down there right away because he'd taken a turn for the worse. I immediately went back down there, and I was able to tell him, "Dad, I'm here." He whispered part of my name, but eyes no longer focused. They looked like they were frightened and searching. Right after that, he fell into a coma. I stayed that night, sitting in a chair next to him. I touched nothing, ate nothing, removed my shoes at the door, brought a day pack with a change of clothes, so I made no messes either. I asked for nothin and made no noise. I just listened to my dad's tortured breathing all night. I wanted to have as much time with him as I could. In the morning, my dad was in the final stages of dying...at 1307 hours, I got up from my chair and went to check on my dad. I heard no breath sounds. There was no pulse. Blood had started to build up in his lower lip. I put my head on his chest and started to wail. I had to go outside. She made me drive home like this. Not like family. She called me back down the next day to split up some pictures, and some other things. i didnt want to go. My dad was gone. I didnt want to do anything but sit down and cry. Things didnt go very smoothly as far as her supposed to be giving my sons whatever their gramps willed to them. She had already promised to give me a bit of my dad's ashes to put into a necklace, then she withheld them because she was trying to use the ashes as a hostage, so she could coerce me to come back down there so she could tell me some "big secret." She badgered me so bad about this "big secret," that I started to think she was up to something, so I just stopped playing. I may not have that tiny speck of my dad's ashes, but I have something better: I have his DNA, and I'm his only child. It also doesnt hurt that I am the female twin to my dad. I look exactly like him, and even our crooked fingers matched! I dont see her or talk to her anymore, and Im relieved not to have to. She was never nice to me. I was just thankful that I was an adult, and out on my own when they got married. She wasnt anywhere near as bad as Casey Kasem's wife. My dad's wife was like the kid who got a ribbon for participating, while Kasem's wife took 1st place.
The wife was in character in this entire interview. His condition once in his children's care validates the medical neglect in her care.
Yes and a horrible actress...which is why her only acting gig was cheers as dingbat.
What's more sad is his children settled with her over the money and he's still in a unmarked grave in Norway.. Their all quacks in my opinion!
I wouldn't consider letting him starve to death in a hospital great medical care or an improvement.
@@1freedomfan441they are still suing her for that
Jean first said that she was only “allowed” to see Casey for five minutes at the end, and later she said she was “afraid” to go to the hospital. I keep remembering when I listen to her talk that she was an actress.
That's what I was thinking when I saw her faint on camera, remember, she's an actress. Did it look real to you?
But not a good one!

@@wintertrooper7918 , not true about the kids, Kerri has made a good living for herself.
This lady is a a bad actress, crocodile tears!!
@@GemGemMarie2162 agree with you 100%
The bedsore is the wife's fault, he had to have been in pain with an open wound such as that. For her to say he wasn't in pain is absurd.
I took care of my dad when he was bedridden and dying. Bedsore that deep means that he wasn't looked after properly. And bed sores are so painful. Turns into sepsis.
The wife has such a phony vibe. Her pretentiousness started even at 1:08 on the wedding day. The melodramatic wiping off his tear (like she’s on a show) and her facial expression didn’t seem genuine.
Her vocal fry is also very off-putting. She’s very painful to listen to! I pressed on because I want to know the full story. Her whisper at 2:05 about how she’d told him she loved him also seemed dodgy. Something definitely is not right with this woman.
It’s likelier that this woman is a gold-digger(compared to the children) & has a greater motive to want Casey dead.
Casey’s son Mike hosts a radio show in Singapore where I come from. Mike’s voice sounds so much like his father’s!
When he was removed from that lady’s house with a stage 3 ulcer, UTI, and a number of other medical complaints, how was no one arrested right then and there ? If I left my dog in a house in those conditions I’d be charged. This whole situation was a mess. Poor Casey
I have no clue how she is running around free
But according to them he was being taken care of. I took care of my husband, at home, for eight years and he had a stroke. At the hospital his attending doctor and the hospital said that they had never seen a better taken care of person. A person being properly taken care of does NOT have a UTI, lung infection or a stage 3 bedsore. This is one case that shows that you need to documented paperwork and a durable power of attorney expressing what YOU want.
Yeah, it's really astonishing!
I just don’t understand how there were no charges filed based on the multiple doctors and coroners reports as to his condition and cause of death which would’ve never happened if she didn’t rip him out of the hospital. Not to mention removing his feeding tube and IV fluids which were both needed as nourishment as well as aiding in his survival. Even when the doctors report that was given to the police was read to her stating she was setting up his demise and her answer was “that’s not true.” She said it again about what the hospital doctor said after the daughter got him admitted back. Like nope, your right, the doctors know nothing and didn’t advise you of anything. Yet what they said would happen happened, but that must “not be true” either. This is one of the craziest stories I’ve heard in a long time and I truly can’t believe she got a settlement and not an orange jumpsuit and either bars or a padded room!
@@jennifermarie7405 Because authorities don't give a damn.
I definitely 💯 agree with the children. Casey NEVER should have been moved from the first hospital in Santa Monica, CA. By the time he got to the hospital in Washington state, he had a Urinary Tract Infection (extremely deadly as, if you do not treat it in the early stages, the infection can go directly to the brain.) Sepsis (an infection of the blood. If not treated in the early stages will cause death.) and a Stage 3 Ulcer. (Caused by Casey laying on his back for extended periods of time and not being turned on his sides.) These conditions were all caused by Jean’s decision to remove Casey from the first hospital and Casey not receiving proper medical treatment. These are just my opinions based on first hand experience. May Casey RIP. ✌🏻💖🌺
Yep he wasn't properly cared for.
You aren't wrong.
Ya clearly was in that bed and not bathed properly or prob at all or moved around at all. Prob in so much pain. No way he wasn't. I've been caregiver and I've seen it happen. Sometiems u can't help it cause they just can't move and it's alot. But she just wanted to keep him away from his loved ones and made a awful situation way way worse. Just sickening
Jean is a sociopath and should have been criminally charged. The spouse should not have 100 percent control. No one should ever be denied access to a family member. It’s wrong on so many levels
The wife loved him. The children loved his money
Casey fell for her aesthetic - blonde and blue eyed - and saw her as a status symbol. He brought this on himself like many men around the world. Unfortunately his children from his first marriage to his starter wife had to bear the brunt emotionally of his poor decisions
Yes. And I was surprised at how young the children were at the time of their father's second wedding. Casey didn't even wait for a midlife crisis before he left his first wife for Jean. Smart men can still be so dumb.
Totally agree. Lots of commenters are eulogizing him and looking at this fight as if it were only between the wife and kids. But he had a big role to play too - he brought this situation on his family by marrying a younger trophy wife as a man who already had a family.
He was married to her for 30+ years. She is crazy no doubt but they are only after his money🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 And they were his children for 30+ years also, longer than she was his wife. If you can accuse them of being after the money only, we can accuse her of the same thing, and him for not caring for his children more.

The fact that both sides played tug of war with a frail old man in his final days is the most tragic thing of all.

@@sarahdawn7075 she pulled. They pulled back. Tug of war. It takes 2 to play. Not one. Casey was caught in the middle regardless of who was right and who was wrong.

I don’t like the wife at all. She seems a bit psycho.
I agree
Whether the children or second wife are in charge, anxiety & stress can turn ppl in to “Mama Bears” to protect a loved one. Be it imagined or reality.
Damn, I was wondering what happen to him!
Couldn't agree more.
The wife worked so hard to keep the kids away from their father, even while he was dying… her winning was more important than letting him see his kids. Even after all that, they alerted her to come and see him while he was about to die. That says a lot.
It was wrong what she did! She already had control over him as his wife and next of kin, but she was a control freak, and unstable. Very sad
I don't understand why Jeanne chose drama, tension instead of focusing on her husband's love for his children and putting that into making his final chapter peaceful. Instead Jeanne chose pettiness, vindictiveness and spite to prevent his own flesh and blood from spending time with their father. Sheesh that woman was something else.
@@eventhere2788 welcome to narcissism
She complains she only had a few moments with him at the end but how many moments did she take away from his kids? She took him off life support and took him away and now she wants him back on?
@@moocowtoyou I agree… without knowing the story at all within a few minutes of watching Jean, I thought… this woman is lying. Her body language was so practiced but truth has a ring to it & that bell was silent.

Him having a UTI and an open wound almost to the bone is all I need to hear, he wasn’t getting the care he needed while at that house.
You've obviously never worked in a nursing home. When one is nearing death the body functions start shutting down & cellular repair virtually stops making healing bed sores extremely difficult. Also, the majority of bed sores occur at points on the body that tend to have the thinnest skin & most pressure against the bed (shoulder blades, tail bones, elbows even heels) so the claim of it being, "...almost to the bone" is an inflammatory statement geared to bias your opinion!
So true. I’ve worked in nursing homes. And those sores happen so quickly. Nursing homes are seriously understaffed, they do the absolute best anyone can do

To call her an actress is an insult to other actresses. I grew up listening to Casey on the radio. My parents had a camp and we would go every weekend. Driving home on Sundays, my dad had him on in the car. I loved Casey and just listening to him made me love music. I looked forward to his countdowns. Rip sweet man. I’m sorry to his children, I hope all of you find some sort of peace through this. Casey would want that ❤

I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!

A classic case of what gold digger can do… buried in far faraway land to keep away from children live or dead.
In my opinion the wife and the children both treated Casey kasem like the rope in a tug of war.. surely there could have been better ways to solve their issues than to put him in the middle as the rope.. despicable really.
This episode is making me rage. My late father was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. This is a horrible disease that took my father away from us at such a young age of only 67. My mother took care of my dad 24/7, going from normal food, to soft food, to only liquids to none. My dad was a skeleton when he passed away and as painful as this was for us, I can only imagine for him. He had also an open wound in his lower back, these are normal due to being bed ridden. With all the care my mom gave him, switching positions, changing him, etc, he still got it. Towards the end when they only eat soft or liquid food, they also tend to get neumomia or liquid in their lungs, they are laying down and only propped up a bit to inhale these fluids. It happens, the deterioration on a Lewy body patient is so rapid, it’s very impacting from one week to the next. To me, in this case, taking away from all the craziness was the best for him. These patients need peace, love, tranquility and rest. I believe their daughters made everything worse. If they really loved like they say, why not come over and make peace with his caregiver (wife) and help around the house to care for him. Only the person taking care of a patient knows how much work it is and the told it takes on you. When I would go help my mom I would appreciate her so much more. She was the reason my dad lasted in hospice for 31/2 years bed ridden. She would wake up daily with a purpose and that was to keep my dad alive that day. RIP

All we need to know is that he was in a lot of pain with an open wound to his bone, sepsis, and a urinary tract infection and that crazy wife kept saying “he wasn’t in pain.” She’s an abuser. Those poor children.
His wife killed him but she did it in such a way that nobody would suspect sir they killed
@@annahunt8988 maybe, maybe not. Maybe she's just a flake
I was raised with Casey
Without his medical history/condition, (and maybe a MD), there is really no way to rule a cause of death...Seeing as how the coroner confirmed natural causes...? One thing I DO KNOW, is that they perform due diligence in cases with a sizeable estate up for grabs...In other words, not enough evidence for anything other than natural disease progression...And, blood tests aren't that specific. The tox screen was clear; Which, is pretty much all they had to go on...The state would need to PROVE a case of starvation( not easy in his declining state...) Do I think the wife was crooked? Yes, but I cant prove it either!!!
She was "implying", he was getting pain medication...No way to know. Only "suspect"; Which, is all the state had to go on...IMPOSSIBLE to even investigate(much less indict, seeing as how natural causes was the official COD...) Best we can hope for is the estate is bankrupt by the time this is done...? "Just split the $, and be done with it", is the most rational response...
Her trying to keep her husband from his children says everything
38:45 noticed how her chair is situation so she doesn’t hit her head on the table when she falls out? Just sayin…
Ten year hospice nurse here. Two minutes and thirty seconds into the recording, I heard her mention that ‘they removed his hydration, nutrition, and all proactive medical care’. Was he receiving hospice care? If so, this seems like standard procedure for individuals in the end stages of life who are experiencing difficulty swallowing.
That's what I was thinking, too. Having a UTI near the end of life is also common and you decide whether to treat it or not. Some people at the end of life decide they don't want to treat an infection and they just let things take their course.
@antjobert wouldn't he need a DNR?
It was her idea and the doctors advised against it
I truly believe that Jean, Casey's wife, is a terrible human being. I am completely convinced that she is the Aggressor & playing the victim at the same time.
I wasn't surprised when they said she was an actress - completely explains her cold demeanor. She effectively made Casey die before his time would have come, she kept his own children away from him & tried to seize all assets and cut off financial support to her step children.
No matter whether she gets away with it or not - One day she will have to answer for her actions.
I agree 100% with you
Yep, She is crazy.
She should have been in prison
Like many narcissists, she lives in a dreamworld.
Why isn't this woman in jail for elder abuse, kidnapping and threat to safety?
@@LadyBGoode-gr8wm I think both parties have some degree of blame in this. The man was terminally ill and nobody would let the man die in peace. What it boils down to is that Casey was the patriarch of two different families that couldn't get along. And all of their tactics was more about getting back at the other person than finding any compromise in the situation. Hence, the unmarked grave.
Because youtubers make horrible jury members. Lawyers have determined they don't use their brain and will not pick them.
I think it's most likely that the wife chose that. My guess is that she was being vindictive and had to have the final say, even at the very end. Also, guilty conscience.
Exactly
@@deltasyn7434it’s clear that he not only needed top notch care, but could afford such. Instead his devious, sociopath wife moved him from facility to facility and even went as far as to remove his feeding tube and IV against the doctors orders.
I don’t know what interview you watched or what world you’re living in, but the kids only wanted the best care for their dying father while the wife, a blatant pathological liar, clearly only wanted him for his money.
All blame lies with Jean Thompson- Kasem.
Edit: that unmarked grave that you reference, IN NORWAY, has nothing to do with the children. It should tell you everything you need to know that she took his body to some faraway place that he had no business being in, and couldn’t even be bothered to mark his grave. It’s probably to not only spit on him, but to prevent the children from doing a proper autopsy and finding out the further abuse that this vile woman perpetrated onto him.
Anyone that helped that woman keep
him hostage should face charges along with his “wife”. What a horrible excuse for a human.
Watching this full episode I can say that the wife is totally UNBELIEVABLE
Pathological 🥺🥺
Yep A lying manipulator.
The Dramatic acting of the poor widowed wife is sickening! *Sorry, but I can't believe anything she says either... **_when it's said with such theatrics!_* Plus if she loved him so much...why didn't she take care of him herself? _Especially if she loved him as much as she's trying to convey!
you mean totally guilty.
The daughters on the video having their sick dad put his signature on those document', for his money at a freakkking store says alot about them...he don't look good lost too....
No lawyers, it says alot about them too
, BOTH SIDES I FEEL FAILED HIM..
They fighting for his money...the wife should had him comfortable at his home ,he had enough money to be taken care off too...
THEY ALL ACTED ON THEIR OWN WANTS !!!
The wife took Casey to Norway to keep him away from his children. The woman is so evil. Shame on her. She didn't love him. She was just trying to punish his family. She is disgusting. One day karma will come for her. I hope she gets no peace now or ever for doing that to that beautiful man. His final monts should of been surrounded by all his loved ones. RIP Casey. You are so loved and always will be.
Yep! Pretty cold 🥶!!!
Amen
My mother had dementia. Any body who has had a loved one with the disease knows that removing them from a place of care is the worse thing you can do and accelerates their demise. The wife did this more than once. Also, anytime there is a UTI there is a worsening of the dementia and the overall health of the patient, Kasey had a UTI and an ulcer and sepsis! The wife should be found guilty of elder abuse, but so should that nurses assistant!
I worked with Alzheimer/Dementia patients for many yrs. Everything you said is the absolute truth! Taking them away from the only environment they know is not only detrimental but cruel as well. I understand it's not always feasible to keep them at home but in this case he could had stayed at home and had nurses with him. And a UTI is the first thing you check for when there is a significant change in mood. I grew up listening to him and was both shocked and saddened when he passed.
@Jen Long and Merryn Price - yep, my mother has vascular dementia, and has had two UTIs in the last two years. She also has diabetes. Each time she had to be moved first to a hospital, then a rehabilitation clinic. She’s at the point where she doesn’t recognize any of us (her children), and all she knows is where she lives, an assisted living facility for people who need maximal assistance.
To move someone in anything like this state is so reckless, and frankly doesn’t sound like a loving action at all. Just selfish. Whether her motivation was money or control, it would likely lead to (at the very least) a rapid diminishment of health and comfort.
My mom was a nurse since 1959, worked for Cook County Public Health for decades, ran STD clinics and taught assistant nursing at the Chicago community colleges after retirement. Thankfully she took out disability insurance for many years, otherwise our family would not be able to cope financially, and provide her with the care she needs. She also taught us about what to do, where to go, if she ever was no longer able to be fully independent. I can say for certain that CK’s wife did the wrong thing, whatever her reasons. Personally, to me, she sounds a bit paranoid. And it wouldn’t surprise me if she was a narcissist who wanted control for various reasons including money. I’ve also had experience with a criminally minded narcissist in my life, so I’m either better-informed or biased, take your pick.
Yes UTI can be deadly for elderly person. They can cause all kinda of issues even psychosis
Thank u. Perfectly said!!
@@polferiferus1938 your mom did some wonderful work. You must be proud of her
I’m a nurse stage 3 ulcer is painful! It’s prn or routine medication. Why the heck a man with millions have pressure ulcer! One word NEGLECT
While she shed real tears, Jean does not come across as believable. She comes across as dramatic. And while Kerri comes across as angry, it's totally understandable. How very sad that Casey seemed to live a very unsettled life with his wife, which also affected his children. I'm so sorry to hear all of these details. 💔
@@joannedavidson7846 Well, that seems to sum things up. Lol
That's because she either suffers from narcissist personality disorder or histrionic disorder u pick 😆
she was an actress.
Real tears???
The one who remains monotone and still is the one who's into the long game; getting it all.
@@travisb4692 she has a talent to make tears so she can easily manipulate people.
I worked as a Registered Nurse for 47 years, I would believe a medical report before I believed that 2nd wife and her friend, clearly he didn’t get the appropriate care, the way he was removed from other hospital was appalling, then the report showed his medical state after family were able to get him to hospital, he surely must have had pain with those ulcers, which friend denied. The state of him on that admission is straight out neglect, The poor man, after all that woman did, to him and his family she was lucky to get ANY time. The medical team were working in Casey’s best interest, it is hard to let them go, I don’t believe he was killed, it was natural causes. This situation was so very sad, his widow was obstructive even after his death. To deny his children a farewell is evil!!!!
Her actions are clearly questionable. moving someone out of assisted care to a friend in Seattle? WTF? what does montreal or norway have to do with the price of tea in china. I smell a rat and it is emanating from the wife.
None of that matters, as only YOUR opinion. A 30-year wife can do whatever she wants under our law. He married her.
YES. I agree.
Like my grandma always taught us kids when we were growing up, "God is watching" and "God don't like ugly".
Don't worry. She will get hers. Payback is a 'you know what'.
@@juantime9616 I've prepared my will already in great detail. It leaves no doubt. Same for end-of-life medical instructions.
@@manuellubian5709 did she do it for the money or to selfishly keep casey for herself?
OK after that ridiculous 'faint' I'm not buying anything that woman is selling. And the weird meat throwing!! To move him was insane. If she really thought it was dangerous then have security employed to watch him all the time and watch what the children do if they get in again. That ulcer tho shows he was not being cared for with his wife. So sad. He was all our childhoods. May he rest in peace.
That faint was so melodramatic and fake 🤣🤣🤣
LOL it took you That long 😄
I called BS the moment she opened her mouth.
