Casey Kasem Remains & Death Update: Star's Body to Move to Europe?
Casey Kasem's body is still not in its final resting place.
Kasem's body is currently in Montreal, according to TMZ, but it may be moving to Europe next. Sources tell the online publication that Jean Kasem wants his body moved to Oslo, Norway.
There have been significant issues between Casey Kasem's daughters and his wife. They, along with the Santa Monica Police Department, want a full autopsy. She is being investigated for elder abuse.
Kasem died on June 15.
In July, a judge ordered Jean Kasem not to move his body, but he was nowhere to be found.
His daughter, Kerri Kasem, previously spoke out about the autopsy.
"I'm concerned about the result of any autopsy Jean Kasem may have commissioned and how they might be used," Kerri Kasem wrote in petitioning the Pierce County Superior Court for a temporary restraining order against Jean, which she got. "Consequently, I thought it would be best to ask the Washington Court to allow me to have an autopsy conducted by a forensic pathologist of my own selection."
Kerri Kasem was very worried about her father before his death. He had dementia, and she battled her stepmother for control of Casey Kasem's medical care.
He and Jean Kasem were married in the 1980s, and Jean Kasem had problems with his children before his death. She wouldn't let his children see him, and Kerri Kasem and her siblings were upset.
"He's very sick with Parkinson's," she said in 2013. "He can't talk. The last time I saw him he could maybe utter yes or no. He needs help walking but this was three months ago. We don't know how much he's deteriorated. We don't know about his medical care. We don't have phone numbers for his caretakers, we don't have phone numbers to the house. We're not allowed to know who his doctors are. We're pretty scared at this point."
