Casey Kasem goes missing

Post by Dan » May 13th, 2014, 11:02 pm

Casey Kasem, the legendary radio DJ and long-time voice of Shaggy on Scooby-Doo, has suddenly disappeared. The full story is one that is absolutely bizzare as Kasem's children from his first marriage have accused his second wife Jean of preventing them from seeing him in recent months, who has been kept at home mostly as a result of his suffering from advanced Parkinson's disease. Recently they accused her of taking him to an Indian reservation, but on Monday her attorney said that outside of him being told by Jean that she had him moved out of the country, he has no idea where Kasem is. Suspicious, a Los Angeles judge has ordered an official search for Kasem and named daughter Kerri Kasem as temporary conservator.

Bizarre. Sounds like Casey is likely OK, just... unavailable.

It's Mickey Rooney all over again. The greed of some people is unimaginable!

Kasem has apparently been found in the state of Washington, of all places. The state of his health has yet to be revealed.

I think things are about to get real wacky here soon.

Not wacky I'm afraid. He actually died. :(

Oh it got wacky with his family fighting over the legal rights to his care.

Rest in Peace, Casey. We'll miss your voice.
