NBC: Casey Kasem Hospitalized After Dramatic Scene Unfolds at Home
http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/casey-kasem-hospitalized-after-dramatic-scene-unfolds-home-n119941Radio icon Casey Kasem was hospitalized in Washington on Sunday after a dramatic scene unfolded outside the home where he has been staying — a situation which culminated with his wife throwing a pound of hamburger meat at his eldest daughter from his first marriage.
As ordered by Kitsap County Judge Jennifer Forbes on Friday, Casey Kasem's daughter Kerri was able to visit him on Friday for the first time since his wife removed him from a Santa Monica facility and transported him to Washington without notifying his family. Forbes also ruled that Kerri Kasem, 41, would be able to take her father to be evaluated by a physician and hospitalized, if necessary.
Kerri Kasem testified at the hearing that the doctor hired by Jean Kasem had told her that her 82-year-old father had developed infections in his lungs and bladder and has bed sores.
"Kerri was just very, very upset because her dad’s health had declined so much since she and Julie saw him on May 6," her aunt Mary Kasem, who lives in Michigan, told NBC News. He just went backwards. She was so heartbroken on Friday that it broke my heart."

This story is really sad and the fact that his kids have been constantly referred to as "his children from a previous marriage" which made them sound like some kind of aliens, rather than his children, is just plain wrong.
I know lots of regular people apparently act crazy over inheritance money but it really sounds like his kids have his best interest at heart. Something about Jean (although his wife for 30+ years) just sounds like one of those crazy people or maybe it it is not crazy but greedy.
