Kasem Family Feud: Casey Taken To Hospital Sunday


Iconic radio personality Casey Kasem was taken by amulance to a hospital facility in Washington state Sunday afternoon.

Kerri Kasem accompanied her 82-year-old father when an ambulance took him Sunday afternoon to receive care. His condition is not known.

Kerri Kasem said in court Friday that her father is suffering from bedsores and lung and bladder infections.

Amid an ongoing dispute between Kerri Kasem and her stepmother, Jean Kasem, a Kitsap County judge ruled Friday that Kerri Kasem could have a doctor of her choosing examine her father.

Casey Kasem and his wife have been staying with friends west of Seattle.

Casey Kasem's wife, Jean  had a strong reaction when medics loaded the ailing radio legend into an ambulance Sunday afternoon.

KING 5 crews on scene said she was yelling at the media as well as Kasem's daughter Kerri and at one point threw raw meat in her direction.



He was was rolled out on a gurney on Sunday and a spokesperson said he's been taken to Saint Joseph's Hospital in Gig Harbor.

On Friday morning, a Kitsap County judge granted the daughter permission to visit her father one hour a day at a local home where Kasem and his wife are staying with close friends, the affiliate reported.

Jean Kasem was displeased with the outcome of Friday's court proceedings and told reporters, "Shame on these children."

She then played an audio recording of what sounded like a groaning man, saying the moaning came from her husband when he heard about Friday's court activity.

"He's crying," Jean Kasem said.

When Kerri Kasem showed up for her one-hour visit Friday evening, she and a companion were met by two security guards with motorcycles in the driveway, KING reported. One man's motorcycle vest said "Combat Veterans" on the back. There was a brief disagreement over whether Kerri Kasem's male companion would be allowed onto the house's premises, but the guard eventually admitted both of them, according to the news outlet.

One hour later, Kasem wiped away tears as she left the house, according to CNN.
