Can you believe that nearly six months after radio icon Casey Kasem's death he still has yet to be buried? Jean Kasem has kept her late husband's body in Oslo, Norway, where she claims he should be buried because of his family's roots. Casey's children launched an elder abuse investigation against Jean and the LAPD has finally confirmed that it has turned its findings over to the D.A.'s office. According to TMZ, it has already said that it is unlikely that any charges will be filed due to lack of evidence against Jean.
That lack of evidence is the real issue here, and Casey's children believe she has fought an autopsy to protect herself. In fact, not only is Casey still unburied, but he has yet to be embalmed, which means any evidence of mistreatment is literally disintegrating away. Casey's daughter Kerri Kasem has especially pushed for the investigation because she believes Jean's neglect led to infected bed sores that may have played a part in her father's death.
What a horrific situation for Casey's children to be in. They simply want real answers about their father's care during his last few months of life. If you remember, Kerri had been concerned last winter because she believed Jean was purposely hiding Casey from the rest of the family and there was a legal battle over who should care for him. During those months, Jean admittedly kept moving Casey from one location to another, and it has been alleged that he did not get the proper care in those various locations.
It is also awful to think of how this television and radio legend has been so completely disrespected in death by not even having a proper burial, isn't it? Do you think that Jean has been covering herself by hiding her late husband's body?
