I hope a Judge can do something about that POS gold digger and make sure His children get their fathers estate left to them because that pos lady doesn’t deserve anything It’s obviously too late for them to see and take care of Him now But @ least that old Devil shouldn’t be allowed any of Casem’s estate .

I'd say his daughter is coming off just as unhinged and has all the hallmarks of a liar as well as his wife. This was 2 strong willed women arguing over money they didn't earn. Sickening behaviour from both
@@Eric-ts3mq Yep, you will know which family is materialistic or not. My parents own some properties, stocks, and other things of value. When my father died, my 3 siblings and I did not demand to get our share of the inheritance according to law. We signed an extrajudicial deed making our mom the sole owner of those properties my parents bought as a couple. We even told her to start selling her properties except her residence and enjoy the money from those sales because it is hard to keep more than one property when one is already old and the children do not want to have anything to do with those properties.
The thing that sucks most about this story is that Casey spent his last stretch of life watching his wife and his kids fight over him instead of having them all at his side comforting him.
I worked as a home health aid for a short time, but I still remember my training. In order to avoid Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), you must reposition the person at least every two hours. If his bed sores were to the bone, that would mean he was not taken care of at all! Jeannie and her friend Shasta are MONSTERS!!!
Not completely true. I had a resident that would turn herself right back on her back. Every time I’d go in, I’d turn her on a side, and by the time I got back for her next check, she was on her back again, no matter how many pillows I’d prop her up with. We could not restrain her. It was her choice to roll back over. She quit eating much, and lost all of her body fat. Developed a sore on her tail bone that went deep and required frequent would care. This was just assisted living, not a nursing home or skilled care facility. Her family and caregivers were very involved. She was very loved. I almost collapsed when she finally passed, but my coworker caught me. For several years after, son and daughter in law would call me on her birthday.
Actually she doesn't sound incompetent at all sometimes they are not preventable I know I am a MLS in healthcare. Also have experience with my brother having cancer and no matter how we turned him he developed a very serious bed sore. @@KaseyBatesYoyo
The burial in Norway is the most narcissistic act I've ever heard, even in death she needed to control, she did that just so the children couldn't visit his father easily. Pure evil.
My ex worked with Casey on projects for several years. Casey was so kind and generous to everyone involved. He threw Christmas parties where he'd take over an entire Beverly Hills restaurant, one year adding tents to accommodate everyone. Casey provided us with wonderful memories. My impression of Jean at the parties, however, were not positive.
I've heard outtakes and he sounded like a DBag. Probably a perfectionist having a bad day, but the man had a temper occasionally. Still, no reason for the way he went out.
@@micheleh5269 In all fairness, it’s common for elderly people to have asymptomatic UTIs. Often times, confusion is the only symptom. That being said, I am in no way defending that woman!
As a nurse this case sickens me. Stepmother isolating husband from his children, withholding medical care, leading to a host of terminal (and preventable!) illnesses e.g. UTI, Stage III pressure ulcer, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. People, there are reasons why we keep fragile folks in medical care…those 5 diagnoses are preventable with proper medical supervision and interventions. Listen to your medical team…sheesh. This man deserved a more dignified and comfortable passing. RIP Casey, an American Icon!
Great points. The fact he had all those treatable/preventable issues says a lot about the kind of care he was receiving from his wife, Jeanie, and friend, Shasta, in Silverdale, Washington. I was surprised 48 Hours didn’t challenge Jeanie and Shasta more on that point. Casey should have been in a hospital, or at least under qualified medical care.
Ok but wasn't he in the rehab facility when all those things started? That ulcer didn't happen in a matter of days when she'd removed him... IDK it seems like he was in bad shape and dying regardless and both parties just made it harder on him and everyone involved.
Even with proper medical supervision and the best of interventions, 82 year old patients with Parkinson’s still get UTIs, pressure ulcers, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Are you new?
Yes and everything they did was above board and according to medical recommendation. She did everything secretive, allowed him to get a deep bedsore, uti went untreated, claimed he wanted to be buried in Israel and then buried him in Norway? Not to mention that she's insufferable
My thoughts exactly. With the money he had he should of had round the clock care at home. Instead she had him in a facility and moved him several times.
@@CatalinaFOIA or didn't want the burden. Maybe she wanted her freedom and with people in the house to witness it wouldn't have looked so good at his death.
Jean killed him. She could've given Casey round the clock care at his home in Bel-Air. His children and close friends could've visited and added months or maybe even years to his life. All the money he had and she dumps him in some crappy facility. She just wanted to separate him from his kids. She was so afraid he'd leave everything to them. Everything about her was fear-based, so insincere. Then she has him buried in Norway, in an unmarked grave!!??? He's an American icon!!! What kind of love is that??? She fixed it so that nobody could even pay their respects at his burial site. So cruel and spiteful. Oh, and that fake faint.... go back to acting school you old heifer.
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars," that was Casey's motto. As a young man I would listen and when older and traveling the world as a soldier it brought a little bit of home to wherever I was. Remember the long-distance dedications? I do. Rest in peace Casey, and thanks.
Oh wow. His wife is out of her mind if she thinks people believe that bs story. His children had every right to fight for their father. His wife's carelessness, whether intentional or not, led to his death. What a tragedy.
Why couldn’t they all split the money so that everyone was happy. There was more than enough to go around. My fathers family did the same thing to me. People are so greedy!
@@AlabasterJar7 You pretty much answered your own question: She needed him to die BEFORE reviewing/updating his will, and she WAS NOT going to let that happen!!! NOW, they all get to split less $$$...
The fact that his wife had him buried in another country is just straight up malicious and wrong. That should tell you everything you need to know about her, that she would be so vicious and spiteful, towards his children that she would have him buried where they can’t even visit him after he’s dead! That’s sad and wrong on so many levels
I agree 100%... To withdraw hydration and food is just wrong! Your mouth hurts so BAD WHEN YOU MOUTH IS DRY THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH IS IN HORRIBLE PAIN...
Why if "he wanted to be buried in Israel??( foreing country, can not recall, correct name of country) why did Mrs. Kasem not do that & was buried in a foreign country "Norway" instead of back to USA? Are his children bringing Casey's body back to USA? Or because of the settlement in 2019 by both parties wife & Kasem children did, his burial site is been kept a secret in USA as respect to Casey?
@@annajordan243 no way. Your children especially as a woman is just as important to you as your spouse. They are your progeny, your spouse is not. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.
@@sherribarry7143 your spouse is not more important than your children. They both hold equal relevance. Your children are your progeny. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.
This episode is making me rage. My late father was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. This is a horrible disease that took my father away from us at such a young age of only 67. My mother took care of my dad 24/7, going from normal food, to soft food, to only liquids to none. My dad was a skeleton when he passed away and as painful as this was for us, I can only imagine for him. He had also an open wound in his lower back, these are normal due to being bed ridden. With all the care my mom gave him, switching positions, changing him, etc, he still got it. Towards the end when they only eat soft or liquid food, they also tend to get neumomia or liquid in their lungs, they are laying down and only propped up a bit to inhale these fluids. It happens, the deterioration on a Lewy body patient is so rapid, it’s very impacting from one week to the next. To me, in this case, taking away from all the craziness was the best for him. These patients need peace, love, tranquility and rest. I believe their daughters made everything worse. If they really loved like they say, why not come over and make peace with his caregiver (wife) and help around the house to care for him. Only the person taking care of a patient knows how much work it is and the told it takes on you. When I would go help my mom I would appreciate her so much more. She was the reason my dad lasted in hospice for 31/2 years bed ridden. She would wake up daily with a purpose and that was to keep my dad alive that day. RIP
A stage three ulcer is considered abuse. As a registered nurse I knew watching this that the second wife Genie was abusing him. She put him in a hospital bed in a house which is not equipped to take care of him. Listening to Jeannie and her friends who claimed that he was fine I knew right away they have no clue on how to care for an elderly individual with his needs. What a disgusting exploitation of an elderly wealthy man what a sad ending he had.
Did you notice what the friend said/did as she gave the tour and she showed where his so-called hospital bed was? At the foot of the double bed in a small bedroom. She motioned and said ‘His bed was right here.’ No chance a hospital bed wld fit in that room- esp once you consider all the other DME that wld be necessary. Also, with a Stage 3, he’d have a higher level pressure relieving mattress which generally takes up more space. Ohhhhhh, how I wish I cldve been there to ask her to name the manufacturer. That’s something an active caregiver wld know. It’s written all over the frame and the mattress.
At first, I don’t necessarily blame anyone for not having full knowledge of how to care for someone with tremendous and specific needs. But then, a normal person does all they can to find out! This clearly wasn’t a priority for his wife (or her friends, I guess, either).
I couldn’t handle my aunt’s end of life care by myself and she wanted to be at home, so we hired a home hospice service. Someone (a CNA or lpn) was with her (and me!) at all times and once a day an RN would stop in and look over everything. Most people aren’t equipped to handle end of life care. That’s why hospices, home healthcare workers, and nursing homes exist. To keep patients as comfortable as possible and families sane.
Jean sobbing: "They only gave me 5 minutes to say goodbye to him" 48hrs: "The paperwork says you couldn't be stopped from seeing him and the kids say you didn't bother to come see him" Jean: "Well, I was scared to go see him"
@@nicolemartinez5041 And his kids were doing the same, everyone loves to be the victim. But now that the kids got their cut of the money, there is no more fighting to bring his body back to the usa, seems they really didn't care about that either just their cut of the money.
@@catdooley4616 I think that the kids care more about the dad then the wife tho, because the kids were at trying to help him with medical care when the wife was moving him place to place and leaving him in pain with all the medical issues he was having. The kids didn't stop the wife from going to the hospital to see him, yet the wife was petty and showed her true colors when she buried her husband somewhere that the kids don't know just so they can't go see him and i think she did that to have the last laugh at the kids and also to have control over him still, even after he passed..
Dr don't determine how much pain you're in, the patient does. Even if you can't speak, you can see heartrate n blood pressure go as pain meds wear off. Also, there are things that any Dr or nurse would know from experience n data that they are painful.....YES individual pain tolerance varies, but they'd know the difference btwn what conditions are ibuprofen pain vs morphine pain.
I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!
Exactly my thoughts. Also - I can’t believe she never gifted a home to her “ long time best friend “. She knew when she was answering phones why she was there . Actress sociopath.
Unfortunately things like this happen too often. A rich man with grown children marries a second time and the second wife tries to keep him from his children.
Even then, it can go "sideways" as they say nowadays. As you can see, Kasem's kids had legal documentation, including video, and they still couldn't prevent the spouse from doing what she wanted.
yep, my bff just reminded me of that the other day. After watching this, plus how contentious my own parents were towards the end, I will work on that asap
@@kidmack3556 yes, but they had to do that as a last resort. I think the point of this comment is to do that in your planning, so it doesn't get that ugly in the end
THE FACT THAT Jean would not let his children visit Casey tells me without a doubt the type of controlling, divisive and greedy individual she truly is.
Yes but the kids were doing sneaky things too. What’s the deal with whisking him off to a UPS store and having legal documents ready for him to sign? I worked in a nursing home also, as the social worker, and many times caught people trying to get the “soon to die” patient to sign legal paperwork. Both sides are guilty in this. Also if someone is at end of life you aren’t going to be treating most ailments.
It’s instantly obvious his wife is lying. She comes across as a vengeful and selfish control freak who couldn’t handle Casey’s health, but also wanted to punish his kids by withholding him from them. It’s truly sad how times like these can bring out the worst in people.
As a wife and mom in a blended family I literally CAN'T fathom any kids yours, mine, or ours being denied access to either myself or my husband if we were sick! I was in hospital for 7 months following a traumatic head injury. It was during the height of Covid so Noone could visit. I wouldn't wish that loneliness on anyone!
They were allowed to see him in the beginning until they made a chaotic interference. Liberty is a biological daughter, too...but you dont hear anything from her. Also, Casey was with was happily living with his 2nd family.
The fact that she buried him in another country he had no association with, in an unmarked grave and prevented anyone from saying their goodbyes, tells me all I need to know.
I can’t help but notice hardly anyone mentioning how this wonderful man was pulled around chaotically like a piece of property on his death bed. What a horrific way to end your life.
Exactly .. nonetheless it was negligence on all involved.. and as much the doctors as the family really.. I know I know.. doctors only have so many rights .. but still .. if they were more convincing maybe he would have stayed put and got better .. who knows.. rip to the legend
I’m sure the doctors knew the chaos he was subjected to and realistically Casey was probably declining in health because of it…. It wouldn’t surprise me if the doctors gave an okay order to just end it all for him considering it’s a grey area easily approvable with his declining health on paper & more humane to put him out of his misery then continue the charade.
“He looked at me and he was scared to death.”.... yeah, of you lady. Narcissists destroy everything. Those poor kids, they did the best they could for their father! I’ve been taking care of the elderly for over Eighteen years, and he was in horrible shape! “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” That woman is wicked!!!
I've worked in Eldercare facilities & in home private care for 30 years. That nearly to the bone ulcer tells you all you need to know about how "well" Jeanie cared for him. It's a pressure wound AKA as a bed sore & they are 100% PREVENTABLE. As long as a patient is kept clean of bowel movements/urine & turned every 2 hours they won't get one. Please note that mention of this wound was never charted/mentioned in the facility she yanked him out of at 2am. What this woman did was play the ultimate end game of Power & Control thru Parental Alienation.
@@AKayfabe it was nearly to the bone. It would have had to have been in medical records and would have started to heal. You believe that it is more likely that miss snoopy (that said he wasn't a moment in pain, so either didn't know about the URI and sore, or was lying) was taking good care of him, and the multiple staff assisting him in rounds neglected him? ...wow
I work in Skilled nursing and long term care facilities and was thinking EXACT same thing. A man w that kind of money would be in a super nice SNF where he gets briefs changed regularly, best air mattresses money can buy, re-positioned every two hours (like you said). Plus he has the UTI, Lung infections (aspiration PNA, I’m sure). How do you hide a father from his children?
Your statement is 💯 % facts. It appears Mr. C.K. health considerably declined when his wife removed him from the initial place of care...she seem to have a power struggle complex. Moving a patient from place to place put Mr. C.K. in distress...mentally and physically. My opinion means nothing...but here you have it..the wife committed elder abuse including keeping his children from seeing their father...smh Rest well soldier.
She was so ridiculous, fake, and over the top through the whole video, but to finish it off with that "faint" at 38:48 was just the icing on the cake. That's how you pretend to faint when you've only ever seen it in decades-old movies.
Jean can not dispute what the doctor diagnosed when his kids brought him to the hospital. Kasey had a list of preventable, treatable ailments that Jean had let happen.
He married her, he was happy, undoubtedly had a great sex life with her. Who cares what his kids think? It was his life and his decisions. They all want the money, that's it, nothing else.
Why should he have ever been made to choose?…That’s absolutely ridiculous. People remarry. You never see this behavior toward a mother and stepdad. It’s so stupid! He deserved to be happy. These people are insane.
Jean first said that she was only “allowed” to see Casey for five minutes at the end, and later she said she was “afraid” to go to the hospital. I keep remembering when I listen to her talk that she was an actress.
Someone who has a stage 3 bedsore that is to the bone is in excruciating pain. For his wife and her friend to say otherwise is just an outright lie. This is horrible and I feel badly for Casey he deserved better than this.
@@ellenfoster9764 yes he did, but it's obvious by her actions she has issues. Hiding him, moving him around against doctors orders, keeping his family away from him, throwing frozen meat at people is not the behavior of someone who is in their right mind.
I remember listening to him on the radio as a kid and I never knew he died under questionable circumstances. He had the perfect voice for radio: smooth but energetic. Miss him on my radio!
Anyone that has that voice, and acts that dramatic, is guilty. I swear. She plays perfectly into the classic damsel in distress cliche, and hooks people in with her soft innocent voice, overly dramatic communication, and over the top emotions. The way she talks sounds like a screenplay. It’s so obvious to many people , and it always saddens me when some genuine person falls for these types. They are either highly narcissistic, or full blown psychopaths. Either way both types are highly dangerous. Especially to the vulnerable
@@chloek2207and she sounds like darlie routier. Ugh, it’s so gross that these women use an ‘innocent little girl’ voice to try convince people of their angelic innocence 😑
As a nurse I can say from personal experience I would believe she was committing elder ab*se. A stage 3 pressure ulcer and UTI are directly related to poor care over at least several days. Absolutely deplorable... the worst part about my job is not death but the family members who torment someone at the end.
ICU nurse here and I fully agree!! Also, for her to move him in the middle of the night, (plus stopping his abx from the facility for the UTI no doubt) surely shortened his life drastically. His wife killed him medically and he couldn't speak for himself. Keeping his kids from visiting and the buriel was just cruel above and beyond.
Totally agree. When she said that it was a lie that no one told her the risk of disconnecting him from his IV and Gtube I knew for a fact she was lying. There is no way medical staff just complied to her request without giving her the risks of that decision
@@katetruthseeker2758 it doesn’t matter. He has several infections, several issues & was deteriorating all while family was trying to get him to a hospital & she was claiming he was doing well hidden in this home. That’s the red flag. He had these infections sore & she wasn’t bringing in doctors or taking him to get care, after doctors warned her her actions could cause him death AND he drastically changed in appearance from when she took him in the middle of the night.
There was "no" grade three bedsore, only a minor bedsore that was almost healed. From the way Casey screamed he wanted to remain in the care of his second wife, it is highly doubtful he had any kind of lung infection. Stop reading all of the propaganda about this matter.
@@clarkgable2733 It's all in the medical records that have been made public, so I'm not sure why you're trying to refute it. You can look up the records yourself online and see them with your own eyes if you don't believe me. You're the one citing propganda. Unsubstantiated assertions made by the woman who abused him. She never even refers to him by his first name. It's always "Casey Kasem". She's a narcissist who was jealous of the love he had for his children.
@@clarkgable2733 this is simply false. Even they said he couldn’t speak and would only make “a whisper sound” him screaming was extremely unlikely. Also these are doctor records the sore was real.
82 isnt that old, not for someone like him sure do miss his voice, now I have found some old countdown shows, love to listen. ----- just such a class act, RIP.
From what I have read, Norway does not embalm bodies so that they decompose more rapidly and entirely, as graves are apparently re-used after 20 years. I guess she was counting on that if the children were successful in court, there would be nothing to bring back.
I wanted to give Jean the benefit of the doubt at first (having just experienced watching a loved one die, and making some very hard decisions) but... Her actions of; going against the Dr's, moving him around, him trying to escape her care legally, and of course her isolating him from his family, and hiding his gravesite, just shows what a malignant narcissist she is. The first thing an abuser does, is isolate their victim. When you love someone who is dying, you do everything you can to comfort them physically and emotionally. You also notify others who love them, to come and say their goodbyes. She was a trophy wife, knew it, likely resented playing the role and riding his coattails after a while but stuck with it for the riches, and she obviously resented/hated the people Casey truly loved. She kept saying 'I was afraid'... Afraid of what? The only answer to that question is that she was 'afraid' she would lose control of her golden ticket, 'Casey the American Icon', that she buried in Norway for f-cks sake. RIP Casey. You deserved a better wife, and a better ending to your amazing life.
She was afraid of no longer being the center of attention is what I believe. No one was out to get them. They could’ve stayed at their stately home until the end of his days and been comfortable. She could’ve let his children come to visit.
@@ddurall5916 I think she was scared of him putting his daughters on his life insurance and him taking her off of it, or him lowering the amount to something she would not like. She is evil burying him in another country, against his wishes, just so his kids couldn't go see him. That is an action of a low life evil individual.. She deserves all the bad karma that will catch up with her one day.
I disagree my hospitalized husband was being hounded and they were telling me what doctors he should see etc. where he should go... they were always visiting when he needed rest. As a person who was hospitalized, I don't want company all over me I want peace. I am his wife and love him so why does this make them more capable than me? Because I am not their mother who passed away years ago? Kids need to give room to their parents. Some parents aren't capable of decisions. Where were they when they needed help? They show up after the fact.
29:27 When Peter Van Sant, the nicest and most polite man in this universe, asks you if you're crazy ... that might be a good opportunity to go in the bathroom and look in the mirror 😂😂😂😂😂
Children always will blame the stepmother, my advise: keep monsters children away, 90% of them are demons! I passed for theater experience, people just talked without knowing nothing, shame on them!
The way Caseys wife Jean answered the “are you crazy” question at 29:33 was just a touch crazy. Not to mention an ailing Casey was in some lady’s house, in a room full of Snoopy dolls, a bedsore to the bone, UTI and a lung infection, yeah they were taking care of him.
Casey wasn't ready to say goodbye. He could have lived much longer. How do you take someone away from the loving care of his wife and family and starve and dehydrate them to death???
Casey was not at end of life. He responded well to treatment, was alert, cognizant, knew who he was, where he was, carried on a conversation with a Washington State police officer, was very upset that the children from his first marriage were involved in his business, and protested bitterly about being removed from the loving care of his wife and daughter.
The daughter did the right thing. I've worked in a care home, working besides hospice, urinary tract infection, septic shock, and "bed sores" are all signs of neglect. So very sad for such a legend 🥺
@@kadianhancel1423 That is true but doesn't make a difference in this case. He is one man with millions of dollars and people who loved him. One .an with at least two caretakers, his wife and her best friend taking care of him He should not have a bedsore that went to the bone.
Hydrating someone whose organs are shutting down is cruel. It doesn’t go into their organs but goes into “third spaces” which is painful and makes them bloat. I learned this from a hospice nurse when my dad was dying.
*I am an Enemy of the Government!!!!* *LEAD in Organic Dark ChocoLate Bars, in NorMaL Grocery Stores!!!* *NO WARNING LABELS!!!!* *Neither Trump nor Biden has EVER said a Peeep!!!!!*
Grew up listening to his show and his voice on scooby-doo. It was good times. I'm sorry to hear the end of his life was in so much turmoil. So sad when you spend your life trying to do good and the end should be as comfortable as possible, but you turn into a tool for control. Just sad.
What type of woman stops the love of her life’s children from seeing him in his last dying months… sounds like she was trying to cover up some horrible things she did. A father deserves to be surrounded by his children…
It takes a GREAT WHILE TO GET A BEDSORE TO THE BONE. Someone was asleep at the wheel for a long time.Mr.Kasem did not have enough fluids either, thus the UTI. What was the other illness? Another infection? I Remember looking at the wedding pictures of Casey Kasem and this latest trainwreck.I remember thinking, that woman is foolish, because she valued attention more than truth and beauty... I thought all this about her because of one thing- her wedding hat.
His wife is absolutely insane. Fake crying with no tears. Those poor kids. Hopefully this gets resolved soon so they can move on with the grieving process and close this chapter of their life.
Funny you used the word insane..I actually googled "casey kasem's CRAZY wife" she see.s evil to the core...then to bury him in Norway ....I hv no words!
It's incredible how a human being is tossed away once they're not useful any longer. No service for my grandfather, my father, nor my aunt. All 3 just cremated and i carried the urns home by myself 2009, 2012 and 2018. I was there for my aunt 11 years living with her and visited her for 5 months before she passed in nursing home and hospice (3 to 4 times a week). And she passed 5 minutes after I arrived and said goodbye the last time, passed with me there. Money, power, none of that matters when you're old unless someone is after it. Nursing homes are full of the elderly who hardly have anyone visit. Humans are tossed away like so many rag dolls.
The fact the kids still called his crazy wife and gave her 5min to say goodbye, says a lot about them. It's obvious she was not going to do the same for them!
Casey fell for her aesthetic - blonde and blue eyed - and saw her as a status symbol. He brought this on himself like many men around the world. Unfortunately his children from his first marriage to his starter wife had to bear the brunt emotionally of his poor decisions
Yes. And I was surprised at how young the children were at the time of their father's second wedding. Casey didn't even wait for a midlife crisis before he left his first wife for Jean. Smart men can still be so dumb.
Totally agree. Lots of commenters are eulogizing him and looking at this fight as if it were only between the wife and kids. But he had a big role to play too - he brought this situation on his family by marrying a younger trophy wife as a man who already had a family.
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 And they were his children for 30+ years also, longer than she was his wife. If you can accuse them of being after the money only, we can accuse her of the same thing, and him for not caring for his children more.
You do NOT ever keep someone's children from seeing their parent during their final days. His wife had an obligation to try and get along with his children.
I wish my state had visitation laws. My dad died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2018. I told my dad many times, while he was still doing really good, that I wanted to be there for him, and help take care of him. He kept telling me to talk to his wife about it. Well, his wife liked me about as much as i liked her, and we never talked about it because she flew my dad's sister down here, from Seattle, to help her take care of him. She never asked me, though I was only 45 minutes away. My dad's sister left about 3 months before he died and drove back to Seattle in the truck my dad gave her for helping take care of him. I dont know why she left when she did, but she mysteriously died about a week or two after she arrived back in Seattle. I asked my dad's wife if I could stay with him that night, and I would just sit in the chair. She gave me a weird look, and said "No, she didnt want me to stay". I calmly asked her why, and she said she "didnt want the drama." I was shocked as hell by what she said, but I didnt want to start trouble, so I just left. I cussed her out for 45 minutes, while driving home. Next day, she calls me, and tells me to get back down there right away because he'd taken a turn for the worse. I immediately went back down there, and I was able to tell him, "Dad, I'm here." He whispered part of my name, but eyes no longer focused. They looked like they were frightened and searching. Right after that, he fell into a coma. I stayed that night, sitting in a chair next to him. I touched nothing, ate nothing, removed my shoes at the door, brought a day pack with a change of clothes, so I made no messes either. I asked for nothin and made no noise. I just listened to my dad's tortured breathing all night. I wanted to have as much time with him as I could. In the morning, my dad was in the final stages of dying...at 1307 hours, I got up from my chair and went to check on my dad. I heard no breath sounds. There was no pulse. Blood had started to build up in his lower lip. I put my head on his chest and started to wail. I had to go outside. She made me drive home like this. Not like family. She called me back down the next day to split up some pictures, and some other things. i didnt want to go. My dad was gone. I didnt want to do anything but sit down and cry. Things didnt go very smoothly as far as her supposed to be giving my sons whatever their gramps willed to them. She had already promised to give me a bit of my dad's ashes to put into a necklace, then she withheld them because she was trying to use the ashes as a hostage, so she could coerce me to come back down there so she could tell me some "big secret." She badgered me so bad about this "big secret," that I started to think she was up to something, so I just stopped playing. I may not have that tiny speck of my dad's ashes, but I have something better: I have his DNA, and I'm his only child. It also doesnt hurt that I am the female twin to my dad. I look exactly like him, and even our crooked fingers matched! I dont see her or talk to her anymore, and Im relieved not to have to. She was never nice to me. I was just thankful that I was an adult, and out on my own when they got married. She wasnt anywhere near as bad as Casey Kasem's wife. My dad's wife was like the kid who got a ribbon for participating, while Kasem's wife took 1st place.
Ten year hospice nurse here. Two minutes and thirty seconds into the recording, I heard her mention that ‘they removed his hydration, nutrition, and all proactive medical care’. Was he receiving hospice care? If so, this seems like standard procedure for individuals in the end stages of life who are experiencing difficulty swallowing.
That's what I was thinking, too. Having a UTI near the end of life is also common and you decide whether to treat it or not. Some people at the end of life decide they don't want to treat an infection and they just let things take their course.
I took care of my mom for the last year and a half of her life. She was still pretty self-sufficient at the start in the bathroom and didn’t want me to help. However, she developed bedsores and I had to get involved. Fortunately we were able to heal them up pretty quickly, because they were NOT level 3 sores that get almost to the bone (like Kasey’s). That takes some neglect.
When he was removed from that lady’s house with a stage 3 ulcer, UTI, and a number of other medical complaints, how was no one arrested right then and there ? If I left my dog in a house in those conditions I’d be charged. This whole situation was a mess. Poor Casey
But according to them he was being taken care of. I took care of my husband, at home, for eight years and he had a stroke. At the hospital his attending doctor and the hospital said that they had never seen a better taken care of person. A person being properly taken care of does NOT have a UTI, lung infection or a stage 3 bedsore. This is one case that shows that you need to documented paperwork and a durable power of attorney expressing what YOU want.
I just don’t understand how there were no charges filed based on the multiple doctors and coroners reports as to his condition and cause of death which would’ve never happened if she didn’t rip him out of the hospital. Not to mention removing his feeding tube and IV fluids which were both needed as nourishment as well as aiding in his survival. Even when the doctors report that was given to the police was read to her stating she was setting up his demise and her answer was “that’s not true.” She said it again about what the hospital doctor said after the daughter got him admitted back. Like nope, your right, the doctors know nothing and didn’t advise you of anything. Yet what they said would happen happened, but that must “not be true” either. This is one of the craziest stories I’ve heard in a long time and I truly can’t believe she got a settlement and not an orange jumpsuit and either bars or a padded room!
To call her an actress is an insult to other actresses. I grew up listening to Casey on the radio. My parents had a camp and we would go every weekend. Driving home on Sundays, my dad had him on in the car. I loved Casey and just listening to him made me love music. I looked forward to his countdowns. Rip sweet man. I’m sorry to his children, I hope all of you find some sort of peace through this. Casey would want that ❤
I grew up listening to Casey Kasim every weekend. And I didn’t even know he was the voice of my favorite cartoon (born in Early 70’s). Pure nostalgia. Great, warm fuzzy memories.
@@mandyellis876 He was "OUR" Treasure. Everywhere around the Metro-Detroit area was a Billboard with his face promoting Wayne State University. Kasem enrolled at Wayne State University, majoring in Speech Education.
@@lindamon5101 Oscar? That was such a hack-job of emotion. I'd have bust out laughing if the end results weren't so serious. Bedsores (decubitis ulcers to THE BONE, Sepsis, dehydration), are extremly fatal conditions and should have the best of Medical treatment and care. *Well, in the FIRST PLACE, if he was cared for properly at the family friends' house-the "Nurse Aide", I doubt he'd be so gravely ill.
The fact that she wouldn’t care for him personally says it all…or at least get someone to assist her caring for him. Kept sticking him in homes so she wouldn’t have to care for him. Caring for someone ailing is love.
@@wholewheatstingray Yeah, you turn a single instance into fake multiples, but instead of admitting it, you want to know why I am commenting. I can do that, and I don't owe you any explanation.
I took care of my dad when he was bedridden and dying. Bedsore that deep means that he wasn't looked after properly. And bed sores are so painful. Turns into sepsis.
This man, Casey Kasem was a national treasure. Everybody who grew up in the 70s and 80s and 90s remember, hearing his voice he was horribly abused. Medically he was taken advantage of because he was incapacitated. It makes me so angry to see him suffer like he did, I hope he’s at peace. Thanks for all the lovely memories Casey. 🙏🙏👑🌈💛💗
In my opinion the wife and the children both treated Casey kasem like the rope in a tug of war.. surely there could have been better ways to solve their issues than to put him in the middle as the rope.. despicable really.
How could Jean and her psycho Snoopy friend say he was in absolutely no pain? He had a STAGE 3 ulcer. An open sore through to the bone. That woman is evil. How could she say the doctor’s report on admission to the hospital is a lie. They removed his hydration because his organs were failing. He would have been bloating and in pain if hydration was continued.
Team Kids all the way - Jean is a terrible actress and her attempt to turn sympathy toward herself fails miserably. She clearly terrorized those kids and made choices that led to Casey's death. The ulcer in his back (to the bone!!) was the game changer for me. Snoopy Nurse Lady didn't notice that??? Don't tell me it developed in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Eyeroll.
You know, I agree with you on every point. I was laughing out loud at her dramatic interview responses. But I have to tell you, if my step-kids took their dad with dementia off to create legal documents that left me out of the loop.....I'm not going to have a good reaction to that. If Casey was able to clearly state what he wanted then they definitely should have gotten it on video, and that makes me think they were up to shenanigans. What Casey really should have done was get it all down on paper the moment he knew he had a disease that caused dementia. As for the ulcer on his back, that didn't happen overnight. Bed ridden patients get them, even with the best of care, and often they can only be managed, not cured. It's likely he'd had it some time and everyone who provided care to him knew about it. What is more concerning is Jean had his feeding tube removed. There was absolutely no reason to do that other than to be switching to Comfort Care/End of Life Care. Nothing else makes sense, because why would you remove it? I can just about promise you (I'm a nurse) it was put in because he couldn't swallow.....that means he wasn't getting the hydration he needed, and I would say that is where the infections and organs shutting down came from. Most people don't live past a week once hydration is stopped. Without that tube he likely couldn't take medications or anything else. By the time the kids got him back to the hospital it was all too late. What surprised me is that Jean didn't say she and Casey had decided that once he wasn't able to swallow his own food or if there came a time when he didn't recognize his family that he would be removed from care and allowed to pass. She could have effectively made a case for "Casey wanted to die at home and that was decided long before any of this happened." Maybe no one would have bought it since she had him in nursing homes? Again, if Casey had made a living will the moment he found out he had dementia, it would have prevented a lot of this. I still think the kids are most genuine and cared about their dad. Jean clearly was being spiteful right up to the end.
@@msdarby515 - thank you! It's interesting to hear a nurse's perspective on this. Regarding the documents, though, I can understand if they believed their dad was being mistreated that they'd try to find a legal way to take over his care. Yes, the method was questionable but in a desperate situation, I can see why they'd do it. As for the ulcer, what you said makes sense. Maybe that wasn't the "smoking gun" to show mistreatment. But yes, I think we're all in agreement that Jean is in the wrong overall.
My dad worked with Mr. Kasem in Buffalo, NY before he became a huge star. Dad was the engineer who would DJ ..physically change the records while Casey did his MC Radio thing. They set up a call years later and Mr. Kasem called my dad and chatted over the phone. I am so sad to see when families go through so much over loss. Death will bring out the wildest sides of people. It is so sad! My respect and regards to all who loved him. He was a bright spot in my daddy's life. Blessings to ALLLL who loved him!
Wise words. I feel both sides loved him and thought they were doing the best for him at the said time. I'm English so have never heard of him before but he seems like he was a bit of a legend in the US.
@Lg Star well, yeah but as a person who has worked in an end of life/ Hospice care job, I have even seen my own family come unraveled and became estranged from my favorite aunt for over a decade. Yes, money and greed is a huge factor many times....but in my experience, the grief process can cause people to act in ways they would not normally act and sometimes unintentionally take their anger over the situation (of losing someone you loved so much) out on others who would normally be close. I'm not taking any sides here and perhaps the majority of opinions here are correct, but one thing I don't see is a lack of love for him. They disagreed about how to care for him and what his intentions were. Then that became a power struggle that was kicked up beyond where it should have been. I think the step-mom never should have kept his children from him. Most people would die for their kids. Money matters should have been irrefutable and arranged immediately after his dementia diagnosis. This whole thing is such a mess and I feel sad for his children. They all loved him.
@chasnfireflies0 I like that you are so respectful with your comments towards the families, we're only getting an hour worth of a decades long story and he has children by both of those kids mother's. Both my parents are deceased and I'm blessed that money and things did not tear my sister and I apart cause deep down we'd rather have them both here versus the possessions.
While she shed real tears, Jean does not come across as believable. She comes across as dramatic. And while Kerri comes across as angry, it's totally understandable. How very sad that Casey seemed to live a very unsettled life with his wife, which also affected his children. I'm so sorry to hear all of these details. 💔
It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that a multi millionarie could get such a serious bedsore when the wife could have hired round the clock care. She is a loon and negligent
Wow. The cause of death is obvious. He was 82 with a stage 3 DTI and urosepsis and they moved him. When your body is old and frail and already healing from infection, the stress of transportation is deadly. You can’t stick people in different environments and not expect stress, and once you have exhausted all reserves, stress kills. Our bodies are all about energy. Once depleted, you die.
I was in Oslo a few months ago, very close to the cemetery where Casey's buried. I went along to pay my respects and had to really hunt for the grave, it's a sad, anonymous marker. The whole situation is so tragic.
The wife worked so hard to keep the kids away from their father, even while he was dying… her winning was more important than letting him see his kids. Even after all that, they alerted her to come and see him while he was about to die. That says a lot.
I don't understand why Jeanne chose drama, tension instead of focusing on her husband's love for his children and putting that into making his final chapter peaceful. Instead Jeanne chose pettiness, vindictiveness and spite to prevent his own flesh and blood from spending time with their father. Sheesh that woman was something else.
She complains she only had a few moments with him at the end but how many moments did she take away from his kids? She took him off life support and took him away and now she wants him back on?
@@moocowtoyou I agree… without knowing the story at all within a few minutes of watching Jean, I thought… this woman is lying. Her body language was so practiced but truth has a ring to it & that bell was silent.
The moment Jean ordered his feeding tube and IV removed, against medical advice , is what did it for me. I'm with his children on this Edit: In his condition, he should not have been moved. They didn't turn him in his bed, causing the bed sore leading to sepsis. At 82, with preexisting medical issues, he would not have recovered. How can she say he wanted to be buried in Israel, then bury him in Norway??? She did nothing, but play games with this man's life and death. it's sickening
But what would be her motive to torment him in his final days? Genuinely curious, not attacking your opinion. Never heard of this case, but you seem to be clued up
@@suzymoroka297 POWER, AND CONTROL!!! "The tighter you hold the leash, the more muffled the barks become..." She DID IT, to prevent him changing his will before death...
Removed hydration, nutrition and meds??? That's evil. And then surprised when the Dr says there's nothing they can do to keep him alive? And they state there's no sign of homicide?
This is what is done at the end of life so they don’t lay there and suffer being kept alive with no chance to recover. I’m sure he was kept comfortable unlike at that house with a huge hole in his back amongst other painful health issues. He should have never been taken to that house.
All sides??? Are you high? If one of your parents died you wouldn't want to protect every part of them and their honor from a lunatic who is making it about money? Unfortunately when one side makes it about money, both sides have to deal with it.
You've obviously never worked in a nursing home. When one is nearing death the body functions start shutting down & cellular repair virtually stops making healing bed sores extremely difficult. Also, the majority of bed sores occur at points on the body that tend to have the thinnest skin & most pressure against the bed (shoulder blades, tail bones, elbows even heels) so the claim of it being, "...almost to the bone" is an inflammatory statement geared to bias your opinion!
So true. I’ve worked in nursing homes. And those sores happen so quickly. Nursing homes are seriously understaffed, they do the absolute best anyone can do
After watching my fil pass lies than a month ago, I understand both sides but I also went through home health training and was a nurse assistant for years off and on. The breaking down of the skin can happen before you even know it UNLESS YOU ARE THE ONE CONSISTENTLY BATHING THE PATIENT AND CHANGING BEDDING. However I know at the end of life there hospice to help... something was definitely up with the wife though but I'm only half way through this so far. The kids stood to inherit a ton of money in sure but.. IDK 🤷♀️
The wife took Casey to Norway to keep him away from his children. The woman is so evil. Shame on her. She didn't love him. She was just trying to punish his family. She is disgusting. One day karma will come for her. I hope she gets no peace now or ever for doing that to that beautiful man. His final monts should of been surrounded by all his loved ones. RIP Casey. You are so loved and always will be.
Marrying someone is the most consequential decision of our lives. Our first priority is our husband or wife and the law gives that person tremendous authority and rights. Choose well.
My stepfather kept my mother from me. I spoke to her on a Wednesday and by Friday she was gone. He took her out of the hospital to sign over her house, property and bank account to him. He wouldn’t send her to a larger hospital where she could get proper treatment for blood clots entering her lungs and suffocating her. I found out later that if he had acted even four hours before her death she would have made it. I was halfway to her bedside when I found out she didn’t make it. The word anger doesn’t cover my emotion. He came to my house 1 month later and told me he was remarrying. Disgusting human being. I live with this by knowing he will pay one day if not in this life then the next.
Sorry this happened to you, don’t worry karma knows everyone addresses, the new wife will be be his downfall. 12/27/22 marked my words. Hope you find peace 🙏🏿
I’m so sorry! Your absolutely correct! The same goes for all of these people! They could have sold everything and just shared the money and the idea them fighting over the money before he even died
He came bc he had such a sense of self importance that he told others how he went to “get your blessing “ and “pay honor to you and your mother “ as well as the self gratitude of sitting within your pain as he told you, which would feed him . I am so sorry, may you never have to cross his path again,’may you heal, and I am sorry for your loss .
Notice how that woman said "I'm not going to quit. I'm the daughter of a Marine". That's not what you say in this situation. That's what you say in a competition. I really can't believe she got away with what she did.
With *what,* exactly? Maybe she said it bc Kerri had been hosting the "UFC: Ultimate Ultimate Knockouts" for years, who knows?! I, for one, can not believe how anyone could *let a severely ill person succumb in a hospital bed, in the worst way possible by taking him or her off of food, water, and pain medication.* A loving daughter would've allowed her father to pass away *peacefully and without additional increasing pain* in a decent hospice facility, or preferably in his familiar surroundings (at home) with the support of professional hospice-care nurses, but that would've taken up too much time, I guess. FYI, they sued her for "wrongful death", up until settling in 2019, though Kerri was the one who got a court order so she could have the IVs yanked out of her dad's severely ill body on Wednesday, so he kicked the bucket the following Sunday on *Fathers Day.* So loving, so compassionate...
Crazy how a radio voiceover transcended a couple different generations and was a quintessential part of peoples memories growing up. He didn't change my life or save the world and having never heard him would have not affected me in any way, but because I was exposed to that voice and that countdown was so popular, it's something I can never forget and will take me back to childhood anytime I hear it.
Wow that evil wife is crazy, he needed to be in the hospital, and for him to have a bed sore almost to the bone is insane. She didn't care about his health at all
All we need to know is that he was in a lot of pain with an open wound to his bone, sepsis, and a urinary tract infection and that crazy wife kept saying “he wasn’t in pain.” She’s an abuser. Those poor children.
Without his medical history/condition, (and maybe a MD), there is really no way to rule a cause of death...Seeing as how the coroner confirmed natural causes...? One thing I DO KNOW, is that they perform due diligence in cases with a sizeable estate up for grabs...In other words, not enough evidence for anything other than natural disease progression...And, blood tests aren't that specific. The tox screen was clear; Which, is pretty much all they had to go on...The state would need to PROVE a case of starvation( not easy in his declining state...) Do I think the wife was crooked? Yes, but I cant prove it either!!!
She was "implying", he was getting pain medication...No way to know. Only "suspect"; Which, is all the state had to go on...IMPOSSIBLE to even investigate(much less indict, seeing as how natural causes was the official COD...) Best we can hope for is the estate is bankrupt by the time this is done...? "Just split the $, and be done with it", is the most rational response...
I definitely 💯 agree with the children. Casey NEVER should have been moved from the first hospital in Santa Monica, CA. By the time he got to the hospital in Washington state, he had a Urinary Tract Infection (extremely deadly as, if you do not treat it in the early stages, the infection can go directly to the brain.) Sepsis (an infection of the blood. If not treated in the early stages will cause death.) and a Stage 3 Ulcer. (Caused by Casey laying on his back for extended periods of time and not being turned on his sides.) These conditions were all caused by Jean’s decision to remove Casey from the first hospital and Casey not receiving proper medical treatment. These are just my opinions based on first hand experience. May Casey RIP. ✌🏻💖🌺
Ya clearly was in that bed and not bathed properly or prob at all or moved around at all. Prob in so much pain. No way he wasn't. I've been caregiver and I've seen it happen. Sometiems u can't help it cause they just can't move and it's alot. But she just wanted to keep him away from his loved ones and made a awful situation way way worse. Just sickening
Jean is a sociopath and should have been criminally charged. The spouse should not have 100 percent control. No one should ever be denied access to a family member. It’s wrong on so many levels
When my father was severely affected by Dementia, my mother had him sign his Will over to her, giving her all rights to everything to be dispersed how she wanted. She gets to do with it as she pleases until then (and she definitely has been enjoying every but of it). When my mother was diagnosed with Dementia, my siblings had her remove myself and my 2 daughters from any and all inheritance. It is amazing what vanity can do to people. In a sad way, I'll be relieved when she passes so I can get through the reading of the Will. My father ALWAYS bought 3 of everything (jewelry and momentos, etc...) to make sure we all got the same things when he passed. I couldn't care less about the money or all the lavish jewels he showered my mother with while they were married for 46 years. I would love to think that I would be able to receive just one of the items of the 3 he got for us, but I know my sister and brother have just divided them out amongst themselves. When my dad got sick, the people I thought I knew for 36 years became people I would never want to associate with. They can have all the material goods when it comes time. While my siblings couldn't find time to spend with our dying fater, and my mother took that time to plan what she was going to do with dad's life insurance payout; I got to take care of him in his last year of life. That time with him will always be worth more than any of them would know... if they are even capable of knowing the value that holds. I can go on knowing that my purpose in that family was to take care of him and give him the best life he deserved before he left this world.
You will never regret that time with your dad. Those are precious times. I have a similar story, but not to your extent. I have now and had then a good relationship with my sibling. I won’t go into what happened with my mother but I think you can relate. I’m so very sorry.
So familiar, exactly like my family. Sister took ever penny before my parents were dead. I do not associate with her for obvious reasons. I never thought she would do that .
Sad situation indeed. Family plus money always equals disaster. Cherish the memories with your father and move on from the ones who don't treat you with respect.

Shame on the evil wife...justices for their dad❤
I hope a Judge can do something about that POS gold digger
and make sure His children get their fathers estate left to them because that pos lady doesn’t deserve anything
It’s obviously too late for them to see and take care of Him now
But @ least that old Devil shouldn’t be allowed any of Casem’s estate .
The fact that he is in an unmarked grave in the middle of Norway. And was an American radio icon. Says a whole lot about the wife.
Speaks volumes, loud & clear
This is what happens when you get involved with gold digger
Exactly
Tried to DELETE IT 4 OR 5 TIMES, nothing happened! So Delete it if you want to!

The fact that she agreed to do this interview and didn’t think she’d come off as unhinged is telling

She's a narcissist

I'd say his daughter is coming off just as unhinged and has all the hallmarks of a liar as well as his wife. This was 2 strong willed women arguing over money they didn't earn. Sickening behaviour from both
@@Eric-ts3mq Yep, you will know which family is materialistic or not. My parents own some properties, stocks, and other things of value. When my father died, my 3 siblings and I did not demand to get our share of the inheritance according to law. We signed an extrajudicial deed making our mom the sole owner of those properties my parents bought as a couple. We even told her to start selling her properties except her residence and enjoy the money from those sales because it is hard to keep more than one property when one is already old and the children do not want to have anything to do with those properties.
The thing that sucks most about this story is that Casey spent his last stretch of life watching his wife and his kids fight over him instead of having them all at his side comforting him.
She wouldn’t let those kids near him!!! She’s evil AF
But Casey is the one who chose to marry her. So ultimately, it's on him. And he chose her probably because she was a much younger woman.
She was a blonde trophy wife
She sounds pathetic, she loved his money not him.
Yes indeed and the crazy wife made sure he didn’t get that!
I worked as a home health aid for a short time, but I still remember my training. In order to avoid
Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), you must reposition the person at least every two hours. If his bed sores were to the bone, that would mean he was not taken care of at all! Jeannie and her friend Shasta are MONSTERS!!!
Not completely true. I had a resident that would turn herself right back on her back. Every time I’d go in, I’d turn her on a side, and by the time I got back for her next check, she was on her back again, no matter how many pillows I’d prop her up with. We could not restrain her. It was her choice to roll back over. She quit eating much, and lost all of her body fat. Developed a sore on her tail bone that went deep and required frequent would care. This was just assisted living, not a nursing home or skilled care facility. Her family and caregivers were very involved. She was very loved. I almost collapsed when she finally passed, but my coworker caught me. For several years after, son and daughter in law would call me on her birthday.
@@bethenieluklthat is true and you sound incompetent
Kerri Kasem is responsible for the death!!!!
This is what I thought when I heard the stage 3… Jeanie is a liar liar pants on fire.
Actually she doesn't sound incompetent at all sometimes they are not preventable I know I am a MLS in healthcare. Also have experience with my brother having cancer and no matter how we turned him he developed a very serious bed sore. @@KaseyBatesYoyo
The burial in Norway is the most narcissistic act I've ever heard, even in death she needed to control, she did that just so the children couldn't visit his father easily. Pure evil.
Absolutely 100% agree with you. Hope the kids win every court case!

My ex worked with Casey on projects for several years. Casey was so kind and generous to everyone involved. He threw Christmas parties where he'd take over an entire Beverly Hills restaurant, one year adding tents to accommodate everyone.
Casey provided us with wonderful memories.
My impression of Jean at the parties, however, were not positive.
I've heard outtakes and he sounded like a DBag. Probably a perfectionist having a bad day, but the man had a temper occasionally. Still, no reason for the way he went out.
He had a UTI and a stage 3 bedsore? And he had no pain??? Hardly
Yes, he's was and is real ICON, for the people that met, very appreciative, educated, respectful, is a shame he is not longer with us.
@@micheleh5269
In all fairness, it’s common for elderly people to have asymptomatic UTIs. Often times, confusion is the only symptom. That being said, I am in no way defending that woman!
@@courtneyblue15 UTI yes, but not a bedsore of that severity. Unless they had him on pain meds
As a nurse this case sickens me. Stepmother isolating husband from his children, withholding medical care, leading to a host of terminal (and preventable!) illnesses e.g. UTI, Stage III pressure ulcer, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. People, there are reasons why we keep fragile folks in medical care…those 5 diagnoses are preventable with proper medical supervision and interventions. Listen to your medical team…sheesh. This man deserved a more dignified and comfortable passing. RIP Casey, an American Icon!
Great points. The fact he had all those treatable/preventable issues says a lot about the kind of care he was receiving from his wife, Jeanie, and friend, Shasta, in Silverdale, Washington. I was surprised 48 Hours didn’t challenge Jeanie and Shasta more on that point. Casey should have been in a hospital, or at least under qualified medical care.
Ok but wasn't he in the rehab facility when all those things started? That ulcer didn't happen in a matter of days when she'd removed him... IDK it seems like he was in bad shape and dying regardless and both parties just made it harder on him and everyone involved.
@@earthdaddy💯
Even with proper medical supervision and the best of interventions, 82 year old patients with Parkinson’s still get UTIs, pressure ulcers, septic shock, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.
Are you new?
Damn once he got sick she started playing hide n seek 😂 cold piece of work
The fact that his kids contacted his wife so she could say goodbye, while she held a private burial in a foreign country speaks volumes.
I completely agree with you!!
Facts!
Exactly!
Unmarked grave
Yes and everything they did was above board and according to medical recommendation. She did everything secretive, allowed him to get a deep bedsore, uti went untreated, claimed he wanted to be buried in Israel and then buried him in Norway? Not to mention that she's insufferable
With millions of dollars, Casey should have had a private doctor and nurse in his own home.
My thoughts exactly. With the money he had he should of had round the clock care at home. Instead she had him in a facility and moved him several times.
Absolutely 💯
I feel his 2nd wife wanted to save money 💰 for herself at ALL COSTS.
@@tracyshaffer4510 Sounds like the mailman was delivering the mail back at the mansion.
@@CatalinaFOIA or didn't want the burden. Maybe she wanted her freedom and with people in the house to witness it wouldn't have looked so good at his death.
The closest thing you’ll get to a a confession from a manipulator is their accusations.
Damn.
The wife didn’t help herself by talking to the media. She presents as the most unbelievable person.
I completely agree
True narcissist. They think they are fooling everyone. Her acting on here was as bad as it was on "Cheers".
She is a terrible actress! That was nothing but a performance, and a horrible one at that.
I don't believe her one bit
I believe the wife, not the daughter.
Jean killed him. She could've given Casey round the clock care at his home in Bel-Air. His children and close friends could've visited and added months or maybe even years to his life. All the money he had and she dumps him in some crappy facility. She just wanted to separate him from his kids. She was so afraid he'd leave everything to them. Everything about her was fear-based, so insincere. Then she has him buried in Norway, in an unmarked grave!!??? He's an American icon!!! What kind of love is that??? She fixed it so that nobody could even pay their respects at his burial site. So cruel and spiteful. Oh, and that fake faint....
go back to acting school you old heifer.
Well stated 😂😂
😆 🤣 😂 😹....lol!!!
Well said.
#facts!!! ✌️
Agreed
"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars," that was Casey's motto. As a young man I would listen and when older and traveling the world as a soldier it brought a little bit of home to wherever I was. Remember the long-distance dedications? I do. Rest in peace Casey, and thanks.
Remember? There's a reason reruns are still being played on the radio. :)

That was a nice memory to share. Thank you for your service.
Yes and thank you for your service..
Still brings home, my youth and my mothers spirit (bc we listened on the home sterio) back to me, when I hear his voice. Esp. those famous words.
My prayers are with his children. I hope they can bring Casey back to America where his legacy lives an where his body can rest in Eternal Peace.
Oh wow. His wife is out of her mind if she thinks people believe that bs story. His children had every right to fight for their father. His wife's carelessness, whether intentional or not, led to his death. What a tragedy.
The meat chucking thing really didn’t help her image, either. 🥴
Why couldn’t they all split the money so that everyone was happy. There was more than enough to go around. My fathers family did the same thing to me. People are so greedy!
@@AlabasterJar7 I wouldn't share money with a woman who was the cause of my father's death.
Yes, he needed medical care and his family's hearts around him in his last days.
@@AlabasterJar7 You pretty much answered your own question: She needed him to die BEFORE reviewing/updating his will, and she WAS NOT going to let that happen!!! NOW, they all get to split less $$$...
The fact that his wife had him buried in another country is just straight up malicious and wrong. That should tell you everything you need to know about her, that she would be so vicious and spiteful, towards his children that she would have him buried where they can’t even visit him after he’s dead! That’s sad and wrong on so many levels
Be ridiculous! They can go to Norway any time they please.
@@scallopohare9431 no- she made sure it was an unmarked grave.
I agree 100%... To withdraw hydration and food is just wrong! Your mouth hurts so BAD WHEN YOU MOUTH IS DRY THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH IS IN HORRIBLE PAIN...
@@scallopohare9431 I think the point is that she went against Casey's own wishes and didn't even bury him in America.
I wonder if legally he can't be exhumed from the grave there? It must have to do with some legal things something the wife is trying to hide
“He’s an American treasure”
*buried him in Norway*
That was just one last attempt to be spiteful. This lady was all about control.
She makes me think of Harry's wife....
Why if "he wanted to be buried in Israel??( foreing country, can not recall, correct name of country) why did Mrs. Kasem not do that & was buried in a foreign country "Norway" instead of back to USA?
Are his children bringing Casey's body back to USA? Or because of the settlement in 2019 by both parties wife & Kasem children did, his burial site is been kept a secret in USA as respect to Casey?

True, however, if your spouse is dying it’s only right that his family is allowed to visit him & for him to see his kids.
@@annajordan243 no way. Your children especially as a woman is just as important to you as your spouse. They are your progeny, your spouse is not. Your husband can divorce you, your children cannot.

This episode is making me rage. My late father was also diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. This is a horrible disease that took my father away from us at such a young age of only 67. My mother took care of my dad 24/7, going from normal food, to soft food, to only liquids to none. My dad was a skeleton when he passed away and as painful as this was for us, I can only imagine for him. He had also an open wound in his lower back, these are normal due to being bed ridden. With all the care my mom gave him, switching positions, changing him, etc, he still got it. Towards the end when they only eat soft or liquid food, they also tend to get neumomia or liquid in their lungs, they are laying down and only propped up a bit to inhale these fluids. It happens, the deterioration on a Lewy body patient is so rapid, it’s very impacting from one week to the next. To me, in this case, taking away from all the craziness was the best for him. These patients need peace, love, tranquility and rest. I believe their daughters made everything worse. If they really loved like they say, why not come over and make peace with his caregiver (wife) and help around the house to care for him. Only the person taking care of a patient knows how much work it is and the told it takes on you. When I would go help my mom I would appreciate her so much more. She was the reason my dad lasted in hospice for 31/2 years bed ridden. She would wake up daily with a purpose and that was to keep my dad alive that day. RIP
My grandma died of Lewy too. It was very heartbreaking in the end, but she was cared for the best we could! She passed 5 years ago. RIP 🕊️
A stage three ulcer is considered abuse. As a registered nurse I knew watching this that the second wife Genie was abusing him. She put him in a hospital bed in a house which is not equipped to take care of him. Listening to Jeannie and her friends who claimed that he was fine I knew right away they have no clue on how to care for an elderly individual with his needs. What a disgusting exploitation of an elderly wealthy man what a sad ending he had.
Did you notice what the friend said/did as she gave the tour and she showed where his so-called hospital bed was? At the foot of the double bed in a small bedroom. She motioned and said ‘His bed was right here.’ No chance a hospital bed wld fit in that room- esp once you consider all the other DME that wld be necessary. Also, with a Stage 3, he’d have a higher level pressure relieving mattress which generally takes up more space. Ohhhhhh, how I wish I cldve been there to ask her to name the manufacturer. That’s something an active caregiver wld know. It’s written all over the frame and the mattress.
At first, I don’t necessarily blame anyone for not having full knowledge of how to care for someone with tremendous and specific needs. But then, a normal person does all they can to find out! This clearly wasn’t a priority for his wife (or her friends, I guess, either).
I couldn’t handle my aunt’s end of life care by myself and she wanted to be at home, so we hired a home hospice service. Someone (a CNA or lpn) was with her (and me!) at all times and once a day an RN would stop in and look over everything.
Most people aren’t equipped to handle end of life care. That’s why hospices, home healthcare workers, and nursing homes exist. To keep patients as comfortable as possible and families sane.
This is the craziest amount of Bs that I have ever seen. I feel ashamed for all of them
@@polferiferus1938 His kids either. They just kept throwing him in care and the elder one is a P.A.
Jean sobbing: "They only gave me 5 minutes to say goodbye to him"
48hrs: "The paperwork says you couldn't be stopped from seeing him and the kids say you didn't bother to come see him"
Jean: "Well, I was scared to go see him"
She is trying to make everyone seem like she is the victim!!
@@nicolemartinez5041 And his kids were doing the same, everyone loves to be the victim. But now that the kids got their cut of the money, there is no more fighting to bring his body back to the usa, seems they really didn't care about that either just their cut of the money.
@@catdooley4616 I think that the kids care more about the dad then the wife tho, because the kids were at trying to help him with medical care when the wife was moving him place to place and leaving him in pain with all the medical issues he was having. The kids didn't stop the wife from going to the hospital to see him, yet the wife was petty and showed her true colors when she buried her husband somewhere that the kids don't know just so they can't go see him and i think she did that to have the last laugh at the kids and also to have control over him still, even after he passed..
@@nicolemartinez5041 You mean those same kids that almost immediatly had his feeding tube removed the minute they got their hands on him.
@@catdooley4616 go back to 31:45. They removed the tube because of the doctors recommendation. Jean is a Malignant Narscissist.
How could she say he wasn't in pain when he had a 3rd degree bed sore, septic shock, UTI, lung infection etc. That woman is completely delusional.
No, you are if you believe the hospital.
The woman is a sociopath. She was only in it for the money, it's so obvious p
Dr don't determine how much pain you're in, the patient does. Even if you can't speak, you can see heartrate n blood pressure go as pain meds wear off. Also, there are things that any Dr or nurse would know from experience n data that they are painful.....YES individual pain tolerance varies, but they'd know the difference btwn what conditions are ibuprofen pain vs morphine pain.
He was also 82 year old.. how about letting the man be happy
Right omg
The fact that there was an out of court financial settlement speaks VOLUMES about all parties involved.
I love when someone tries to cry and nothing comes out. What a piece of work that woman is
SHE SOUNDED AND LOOKED SOOO FAKE.
I can see both points of view and many valid points have been made but, I am sorry - who is the wife of 34 years? Jeannie is. Children count for nothing. When a man chooses to marry a woman, he is bound to that woman and vice-versa. Children from any marriage, (original marriage or subsequent marriages) cannot dictate anything. I had my own little squabbles with my father over how to handle certain medical care regarding my mom, or even her burial, but I realized I was wrong. My father's ultimate decision had to prevail. I, myself, am married now and have a wife and she knows (and I have it written down on paper) that no one, and I mean no one has any say over my money, my body or my future. My wife has 100% sole control over me and vice versa. The day I stop liking or agreeing with this arrangement, I can divorce her and make other types of plans. But in the meantime, legally, it is my wife who has governance over my present condition and future and vice versa. These children were/are/will be wrong. So I side with Jeannie. Was she a -itch, evil, weird, stupid, ignorant... I don't know; that's stuff for the tabloids and gossips but Jeannie is in her right to bury KASEY KASEM in Norway, Israel, Cuba, China, North Korea or throw his ashes out to sea. END OF STORY!!!
She is honestly worse than Amber Heard! 😂 😂 😂
Of course someone would reply by bringing her up. How original
@Amadis Dee is he not bound to his children as well? How do they have no say in this situation?
The fact that Jean Kasem tried to keep her husband from his children tells me everything I need to know about her true character
Exactly my thoughts. Also - I can’t believe she never gifted a home to her “ long time best friend “.
She knew when she was answering phones why she was there . Actress sociopath.
yes, and why being so evil to baring him in another country. Why? Just to bother his first children?
Unfortunately things like this happen too often. A rich man with grown children marries a second time and the second wife tries to keep him from his children.
Exactly.
Kids would never want to harm their parents
A reminder to all of us to have our burial and medical care wishes discussed and legalized. Such a sad case.
Absolutely!
Get that will and advance directive out there, copies for everyone!
Even then, it can go "sideways" as they say nowadays.
As you can see, Kasem's kids had legal documentation, including video, and they still couldn't prevent the spouse from doing what she wanted.
yep, my bff just reminded me of that the other day. After watching this, plus how contentious my own parents were towards the end, I will work on that asap
@@kidmack3556 yes, but they had to do that as a last resort. I think the point of this comment is to do that in your planning, so it doesn't get that ugly in the end
THE FACT THAT Jean would not let his children visit Casey tells me without a doubt the type of controlling, divisive and greedy individual she truly is.
She wanted him to think they didn’t care, so she’d inherit everything and be the life insurance beneficiary.
Sounds like they didn't like her anyway.....its a she says they say sort of thing.
Yes but the kids were doing sneaky things too. What’s the deal with whisking him off to a UPS store and having legal documents ready for him to sign? I worked in a nursing home also, as the social worker, and many times caught people trying to get the “soon to die” patient to sign legal paperwork. Both sides are guilty in this. Also if someone is at end of life you aren’t going to be treating most ailments.
It is perfectly normal if someone is at end of life to remove feeding tubes. Their body is preparing to shut down and they aren’t hungry.
@@kimberly9754 a feeding tube isn't about hunger, its about nutrition
they allowed her to see him in his final minutes yet you bury him in an UNMARKED GRAVE IN NORWAY!!!! oh my gosh! this woman is beyond evil
It’s instantly obvious his wife is lying. She comes across as a vengeful and selfish control freak who couldn’t handle Casey’s health, but also wanted to punish his kids by withholding him from them. It’s truly sad how times like these can bring out the worst in people.
Witchery!
She was denying she hurt him or contributed to his death, but she's nodding yes the entire time.
All you had to do was watch the first minute and see the fake...tears of $joy.
@@josi4251I saw that too. Reminded me of Misty’s interview after she was found guilty of killing Abraham
I was thinking the same thing!
I think it was totally uncaring and vindictive for Casey's widow to bury him in Norway, where he had had no connections whatsoever.
IT IS VERY TELLING OF WHAT SHE REALLY IS
Why Norway???
Like, obviously she's awful, but Norway.
As a wife and mom in a blended family I literally CAN'T fathom any kids yours, mine, or ours being denied access to either myself or my husband if we were sick! I was in hospital for 7 months following a traumatic head injury. It was during the height of Covid so Noone could visit. I wouldn't wish that loneliness on anyone!
i’m sorry for you situation and btw you are a women with a heart not this step mom she’s wicked
*no one
keep in mind they were married 30 years . not some new wife
They were allowed to see him in the beginning until they made a chaotic interference.
Liberty is a biological daughter, too...but you dont hear anything from her.
Also, Casey was with was happily living with his 2nd family.
@@jewbego5323 What’s the matter? Not going to correct her double spaces between words as well?
The fact that she buried him in another country he had no association with, in an unmarked grave and prevented anyone from saying their goodbyes, tells me all I need to know.
I can’t help but notice hardly anyone mentioning how this wonderful man was pulled around chaotically like a piece of property on his death bed. What a horrific way to end your life.
Wonderful man? He cheated with his secretary, divorced his wife and married the 20yr younger witch who ultimately killed him.
So the doctor is also a liar…right…
Exactly .. nonetheless it was negligence on all involved.. and as much the doctors as the family really.. I know I know.. doctors only have so many rights .. but still .. if they were more convincing maybe he would have stayed put and got better .. who knows.. rip to the legend
I’m sure the doctors knew the chaos he was subjected to and realistically Casey was probably declining in health because of it….
It wouldn’t surprise me if the doctors gave an okay order to just end it all for him considering it’s a grey area easily approvable with his declining health on paper & more humane to put him out of his misery then continue the charade.
@@ashlaunicaalpari4584 no doctors don’t ok an end of the charade!
Poor wording to say the least!
“He looked at me and he was scared to death.”.... yeah, of you lady. Narcissists destroy everything. Those poor kids, they did the best they could for their father! I’ve been taking care of the elderly for over Eighteen years, and he was in horrible shape! “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” That woman is wicked!!!
Exactly
Yes!! She's definitely a narcissist
His daughters were absolutely evil!
I've worked in Eldercare facilities & in home private care for 30 years. That nearly to the bone ulcer tells you all you need to know about how "well" Jeanie cared for him.
It's a pressure wound AKA as a bed sore & they are 100% PREVENTABLE.
As long as a patient is kept clean of bowel movements/urine & turned every 2 hours they won't get one.
Please note that mention of this wound was never charted/mentioned in the facility she yanked him out of at 2am.
What this woman did was play the ultimate end game of Power & Control thru Parental Alienation.
Absolutely
you don’t get a bedsore that badly in just a few days though
that takes time
I wonder if he wasn’t being turned long before she moved him
@@AKayfabe it was nearly to the bone. It would have had to have been in medical records and would have started to heal. You believe that it is more likely that miss snoopy (that said he wasn't a moment in pain, so either didn't know about the URI and sore, or was lying) was taking good care of him, and the multiple staff assisting him in rounds neglected him? ...wow
I work in Skilled nursing and long term care facilities and was thinking EXACT same thing. A man w that kind of money would be in a super nice SNF where he gets briefs changed regularly, best air mattresses money can buy, re-positioned every two hours (like you said).
Plus he has the UTI, Lung infections (aspiration PNA, I’m sure).
How do you hide a father from his children?
Your statement is 💯 % facts.
It appears Mr. C.K. health considerably declined when his wife removed him from the initial place of care...she seem to have a power struggle complex. Moving a patient from place to place put Mr. C.K. in distress...mentally and physically.
My opinion means nothing...but here you have it..the wife committed elder abuse including keeping his children from seeing their father...smh
Rest well soldier.
Grew up listening to Kasey in the 70's, as a kid I liked to listen to his countdown on the radio, he truly is an icon.
When you get sick or ill ...You will see the true colors of people
Yeah like his greedy evil children who only want his money.
Especially when lots of money involved 😮😢
Yes! 💲💲 Smh
Those kids were crying to see their dad! It was the step mother who wanted control and the money!!!
The wife is playing the best acting ROLE she ever had. Even the burial was all about her.
& that wasn’t done well either!
She's such a bad liar, to be honest! You can see "liar" written all over her creepy face. The fainting was just...so cringe!
This lady is crazy
She was so ridiculous, fake, and over the top through the whole video, but to finish it off with that "faint" at 38:48 was just the icing on the cake. That's how you pretend to faint when you've only ever seen it in decades-old movies.
and no doubt her husband had decades of experience of her behaviour but still chose to remain with her, he was the architect of his own downfall
Jean can not dispute what the doctor diagnosed when his kids brought him to the hospital. Kasey had a list of preventable, treatable ailments that Jean had let happen.
He married her, he was happy, undoubtedly had a great sex life with her. Who cares what his kids think? It was his life and his decisions. They all want the money, that's it, nothing else.
Casey created all this drama in his life ... Period. He picked this wife & whatever issues he fostered between his kids.
Obviously you don't want to about how fake and manipulative women can be.
Why should he have ever been made to choose?…That’s absolutely ridiculous. People remarry. You never see this behavior toward a mother and stepdad. It’s so stupid! He deserved to be happy. These people are insane.
😂😂😂😂
Oh, boy..
You related to her?
He picked a weird one, and knew it. He mightve been off his rocker by age 50.
Tim Conway had a similar situation.
Jean first said that she was only “allowed” to see Casey for five minutes at the end, and later she said she was “afraid” to go to the hospital. I keep remembering when I listen to her talk that she was an actress.
That's what I was thinking when I saw her faint on camera, remember, she's an actress. Did it look real to you?
But not a good one!
both the kids and the wife don't care about anything but the money
@@wintertrooper7918 , not true about the kids, Kerri has made a good living for herself.

@@GemGemMarie2162 agree with you 100%
Someone who has a stage 3 bedsore that is to the bone is in excruciating pain. For his wife and her friend to say otherwise is just an outright lie. This is horrible and I feel badly for Casey he deserved better than this.
Exactly what was going on with my grandfather... until his wifes death a few months ago.... he's in much much better health!
He did marry her
@@ellenfoster9764 yes he did, but it's obvious by her actions she has issues. Hiding him, moving him around against doctors orders, keeping his family away from him, throwing frozen meat at people is not the behavior of someone who is in their right mind.

There are evil stepmothers in fairytales and in real life. She's so soft-spoken but her heart is as hard as a rock.😢
Anyone that has that voice, and acts that dramatic, is guilty. I swear. She plays perfectly into the classic damsel in distress cliche, and hooks people in with her soft innocent voice, overly dramatic communication, and over the top emotions. The way she talks sounds like a screenplay. It’s so obvious to many people , and it always saddens me when some genuine person falls for these types. They are either highly narcissistic, or full blown psychopaths. Either way both types are highly dangerous. Especially to the vulnerable
AMEN 🙏

@@chloek2207and she sounds like darlie routier. Ugh, it’s so gross that these women use an ‘innocent little girl’ voice to try convince people of their angelic innocence 😑
You worded that perfectly.
As a nurse I can say from personal experience I would believe she was committing elder ab*se.
A stage 3 pressure ulcer and UTI are directly related to poor care over at least several days.
Absolutely deplorable...
the worst part about my job is not death but the family members who torment someone at the end.
As a Hospice RN I agree 100% with you.
ICU nurse here and I fully agree!! Also, for her to move him in the middle of the night, (plus stopping his abx from the facility for the UTI no doubt) surely shortened his life drastically. His wife killed him medically and he couldn't speak for himself. Keeping his kids from visiting and the buriel was just cruel above and beyond.
Totally agree. When she said that it was a lie that no one told her the risk of disconnecting him from his IV and Gtube I knew for a fact she was lying. There is no way medical staff just complied to her request without giving her the risks of that decision
Do we know if he had the ulcer when he left the first nursing home? It takes some time for that to set in right?
@@katetruthseeker2758 it doesn’t matter. He has several infections, several issues & was deteriorating all while family was trying to get him to a hospital & she was claiming he was doing well hidden in this home. That’s the red flag. He had these infections sore & she wasn’t bringing in doctors or taking him to get care, after doctors warned her her actions could cause him death AND he drastically changed in appearance from when she took him in the middle of the night.
Casey had a grade 3 bedsore on his back, a UTI and a lung infection and Jean and her buddy still insist he wasn't in any pain! Unbelievable.
Poor guy. 😔
There was "no" grade three bedsore, only a minor bedsore that was almost healed. From the way Casey screamed he wanted to remain in the care of his second wife, it is highly doubtful he had any kind of lung infection. Stop reading all of the propaganda about this matter.
@@clarkgable2733 how do you know? Post where you got your information. Thanks

She's a narcissist who was jealous of the love he had for his children.
@@clarkgable2733 this is simply false. Even they said he couldn’t speak and would only make “a whisper sound” him screaming was extremely unlikely. Also these are doctor records the sore was real.

Shes insane😢
And his adult children allowed her to visit and call her when he was in a grave situation dying.

sure do miss his voice,
now I have found some old countdown shows, love to listen. ----- just such a class act, RIP.
@@BrianCarnevaleB2682 is just as old for Casey Casem as it us regular people.
From what I have read, Norway does not embalm bodies so that they decompose more rapidly and entirely, as graves are apparently re-used after 20 years. I guess she was counting on that if the children were successful in court, there would be nothing to bring back.
That was the most fake faint I have ever seen roflmao 😂😂😂😂😂
If this guy was Casey the homeless guy, Robert Stack couldn't find any of these ingrates. It's the money, it's the money.
A former actress fainted 🤔
I watched it like 6 times 😂😂😂 Insanity! She closes her eyes as she goes down lmfaoooo
It explains why she didn't make it as an actress
I wanted to give Jean the benefit of the doubt at first (having just experienced watching a loved one die, and making some very hard decisions) but... Her actions of; going against the Dr's, moving him around, him trying to escape her care legally, and of course her isolating him from his family, and hiding his gravesite, just shows what a malignant narcissist she is.
The first thing an abuser does, is isolate their victim. When you love someone who is dying, you do everything you can to comfort them physically and emotionally. You also notify others who love them, to come and say their goodbyes.
She was a trophy wife, knew it, likely resented playing the role and riding his coattails after a while but stuck with it for the riches, and she obviously resented/hated the people Casey truly loved.
She kept saying 'I was afraid'... Afraid of what? The only answer to that question is that she was 'afraid' she would lose control of her golden ticket, 'Casey the American Icon', that she buried in Norway for f-cks sake.
RIP Casey. You deserved a better wife, and a better ending to your amazing life.
She was afraid of no longer being the center of attention is what I believe. No one was out to get them. They could’ve stayed at their stately home until the end of his days and been comfortable. She could’ve let his children come to visit.
@@ddurall5916 I think she was scared of him putting his daughters on his life insurance and him taking her off of it, or him lowering the amount to something she would not like. She is evil burying him in another country, against his wishes, just so his kids couldn't go see him. That is an action of a low life evil individual.. She deserves all the bad karma that will catch up with her one day.
Well- said!!! 👊🏾
And better kids
I disagree my hospitalized husband was being hounded and they were telling me what doctors he should see etc. where he should go... they were always visiting when he needed rest. As a person who was hospitalized, I don't want company all over me I want peace. I am his wife and love him so why does this make them more capable than me? Because I am not their mother who passed away years ago? Kids need to give room to their parents. Some parents aren't capable of decisions. Where were they when they needed help? They show up after the fact.
29:27 When Peter Van Sant, the nicest and most polite man in this universe, asks you if you're crazy ... that might be a good opportunity to go in the bathroom and look in the mirror 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes and a horrible actress...which is why her only acting gig was cheers as dingbat.
What's more sad is his children settled with her over the money and he's still in a unmarked grave in Norway.. Their all quacks in my opinion!

The way Caseys wife Jean answered the “are you crazy” question at 29:33 was just a touch crazy.

He was under the care of a doctor and had nurses aides. Three days after the kids got him he died.

You have to be cold hearted to deny children, estranged or not, the chance to say goodbye to their father. 😢
Crocodile tears reptilian eyes
Casey wasn't ready to say goodbye. He could have lived much longer. How do you take someone away from the loving care of his wife and family and starve and dehydrate them to death???
She belongs in prison. She did everything to secure his money and help him die faster. Even hiding him
Casey was not at end of life. He responded well to treatment, was alert, cognizant, knew who he was, where he was, carried on a conversation with a Washington State police officer, was very upset that the children from his first marriage were involved in his business, and protested bitterly about being removed from the loving care of his wife and daughter.
@@AngryIrishMan All of the money Casey had, he earned with his second wife, Jean.
The daughter did the right thing. I've worked in a care home, working besides hospice, urinary tract infection, septic shock, and "bed sores" are all signs of neglect. So very sad for such a legend 🥺
I think the bed sores depend on the facility. I've worked in facilities that only have 1 staff to care for 7 people

Hydrating someone whose organs are shutting down is cruel. It doesn’t go into their organs but goes into “third spaces” which is painful and makes them bloat. I learned this from a hospice nurse when my dad was dying.

That faint took me all the way out lol. She was like:
"what court order? i'm sleeping"
What type of woman stops the love of her life’s children from seeing him in his last dying months… sounds like she was trying to cover up some horrible things she did. A father deserves to be surrounded by his children…
It takes a GREAT WHILE TO GET A BEDSORE TO THE BONE. Someone was asleep at the wheel for a long time.Mr.Kasem did not have enough fluids either, thus the UTI. What was the other illness? Another infection?
I Remember looking at the wedding pictures of Casey Kasem and this latest trainwreck.I remember thinking, that woman is foolish, because she valued attention more than truth and beauty... I thought all this about her because of one thing- her wedding hat.

His wife is absolutely insane. Fake crying with no tears. Those poor kids. Hopefully this gets resolved soon so they can move on with the grieving process and close this chapter of their life.
Jean comes across as a bad over actor and it's obvious she's trying to keep his kids away from him even in death. She's an insane monster
Funny you used the word insane..I actually googled "casey kasem's CRAZY wife" she see.s evil to the core...then to bury him in Norway ....I hv no words!
I immediately paused at 0:56 and came to the comments section. She is crazy...
I saw tears.
did you not see the tears? and there is always 2 sides to every story, without physical evidence you don't know which side to believe
It's incredible how a human being is tossed away once they're not useful any longer. No service for my grandfather, my father, nor my aunt. All 3 just cremated and i carried the urns home by myself 2009, 2012 and 2018. I was there for my aunt 11 years living with her and visited her for 5 months before she passed in nursing home and hospice (3 to 4 times a week). And she passed 5 minutes after I arrived and said goodbye the last time, passed with me there. Money, power, none of that matters when you're old unless someone is after it. Nursing homes are full of the elderly who hardly have anyone visit. Humans are tossed away like so many rag dolls.
The fact the kids still called his crazy wife and gave her 5min to say goodbye, says a lot about them. It's obvious she was not going to do the same for them!
Exactly
Yes absolutely this! I totally believe the kids.
#JeanieForPrison
Casey fell for her aesthetic - blonde and blue eyed - and saw her as a status symbol. He brought this on himself like many men around the world. Unfortunately his children from his first marriage to his starter wife had to bear the brunt emotionally of his poor decisions
Yes. And I was surprised at how young the children were at the time of their father's second wedding. Casey didn't even wait for a midlife crisis before he left his first wife for Jean. Smart men can still be so dumb.
Totally agree. Lots of commenters are eulogizing him and looking at this fight as if it were only between the wife and kids. But he had a big role to play too - he brought this situation on his family by marrying a younger trophy wife as a man who already had a family.
He was married to her for 30+ years. She is crazy no doubt but they are only after his money🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@gulfportflamefighter4545 And they were his children for 30+ years also, longer than she was his wife. If you can accuse them of being after the money only, we can accuse her of the same thing, and him for not caring for his children more.
@@DJ-769 Mentioned it in another comment - he could have done more to be absolutely clear who would be responsible for what and who would get what.
You do NOT ever keep someone's children from seeing their parent during their final days. His wife had an obligation to try and get along with his children.
I wish my state had visitation laws. My dad died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2018. I told my dad many times, while he was still doing really good, that I wanted to be there for him, and help take care of him. He kept telling me to talk to his wife about it. Well, his wife liked me about as much as i liked her, and we never talked about it because she flew my dad's sister down here, from Seattle, to help her take care of him. She never asked me, though I was only 45 minutes away. My dad's sister left about 3 months before he died and drove back to Seattle in the truck my dad gave her for helping take care of him. I dont know why she left when she did, but she mysteriously died about a week or two after she arrived back in Seattle. I asked my dad's wife if I could stay with him that night, and I would just sit in the chair. She gave me a weird look, and said "No, she didnt want me to stay". I calmly asked her why, and she said she "didnt want the drama." I was shocked as hell by what she said, but I didnt want to start trouble, so I just left. I cussed her out for 45 minutes, while driving home. Next day, she calls me, and tells me to get back down there right away because he'd taken a turn for the worse. I immediately went back down there, and I was able to tell him, "Dad, I'm here." He whispered part of my name, but eyes no longer focused. They looked like they were frightened and searching. Right after that, he fell into a coma. I stayed that night, sitting in a chair next to him. I touched nothing, ate nothing, removed my shoes at the door, brought a day pack with a change of clothes, so I made no messes either. I asked for nothin and made no noise. I just listened to my dad's tortured breathing all night. I wanted to have as much time with him as I could. In the morning, my dad was in the final stages of dying...at 1307 hours, I got up from my chair and went to check on my dad. I heard no breath sounds. There was no pulse. Blood had started to build up in his lower lip. I put my head on his chest and started to wail. I had to go outside. She made me drive home like this. Not like family. She called me back down the next day to split up some pictures, and some other things. i didnt want to go. My dad was gone. I didnt want to do anything but sit down and cry. Things didnt go very smoothly as far as her supposed to be giving my sons whatever their gramps willed to them. She had already promised to give me a bit of my dad's ashes to put into a necklace, then she withheld them because she was trying to use the ashes as a hostage, so she could coerce me to come back down there so she could tell me some "big secret." She badgered me so bad about this "big secret," that I started to think she was up to something, so I just stopped playing. I may not have that tiny speck of my dad's ashes, but I have something better: I have his DNA, and I'm his only child. It also doesnt hurt that I am the female twin to my dad. I look exactly like him, and even our crooked fingers matched! I dont see her or talk to her anymore, and Im relieved not to have to. She was never nice to me. I was just thankful that I was an adult, and out on my own when they got married. She wasnt anywhere near as bad as Casey Kasem's wife. My dad's wife was like the kid who got a ribbon for participating, while Kasem's wife took 1st place.
Ten year hospice nurse here. Two minutes and thirty seconds into the recording, I heard her mention that ‘they removed his hydration, nutrition, and all proactive medical care’. Was he receiving hospice care? If so, this seems like standard procedure for individuals in the end stages of life who are experiencing difficulty swallowing.
That's what I was thinking, too. Having a UTI near the end of life is also common and you decide whether to treat it or not. Some people at the end of life decide they don't want to treat an infection and they just let things take their course.
@antjobert wouldn't he need a DNR?
It was her idea and the doctors advised against it
I took care of my mom for the last year and a half of her life. She was still pretty self-sufficient at the start in the bathroom and didn’t want me to help. However, she developed bedsores and I had to get involved. Fortunately we were able to heal them up pretty quickly, because they were NOT level 3 sores that get almost to the bone (like Kasey’s). That takes some neglect.
When he was removed from that lady’s house with a stage 3 ulcer, UTI, and a number of other medical complaints, how was no one arrested right then and there ? If I left my dog in a house in those conditions I’d be charged. This whole situation was a mess. Poor Casey
I have no clue how she is running around free
But according to them he was being taken care of. I took care of my husband, at home, for eight years and he had a stroke. At the hospital his attending doctor and the hospital said that they had never seen a better taken care of person. A person being properly taken care of does NOT have a UTI, lung infection or a stage 3 bedsore. This is one case that shows that you need to documented paperwork and a durable power of attorney expressing what YOU want.
Yeah, it's really astonishing!
I just don’t understand how there were no charges filed based on the multiple doctors and coroners reports as to his condition and cause of death which would’ve never happened if she didn’t rip him out of the hospital. Not to mention removing his feeding tube and IV fluids which were both needed as nourishment as well as aiding in his survival. Even when the doctors report that was given to the police was read to her stating she was setting up his demise and her answer was “that’s not true.” She said it again about what the hospital doctor said after the daughter got him admitted back. Like nope, your right, the doctors know nothing and didn’t advise you of anything. Yet what they said would happen happened, but that must “not be true” either. This is one of the craziest stories I’ve heard in a long time and I truly can’t believe she got a settlement and not an orange jumpsuit and either bars or a padded room!
@@jennifermarie7405 Because authorities don't give a damn.
To call her an actress is an insult to other actresses. I grew up listening to Casey on the radio. My parents had a camp and we would go every weekend. Driving home on Sundays, my dad had him on in the car. I loved Casey and just listening to him made me love music. I looked forward to his countdowns. Rip sweet man. I’m sorry to his children, I hope all of you find some sort of peace through this. Casey would want that ❤
I grew up listening to Casey Kasim every weekend. And I didn’t even know he was the voice of my favorite cartoon (born in Early 70’s). Pure nostalgia. Great, warm fuzzy memories.

The bedsore is the wife's fault, he had to have been in pain with an open wound such as that. For her to say he wasn't in pain is absurd.
I took care of my dad when he was bedridden and dying. Bedsore that deep means that he wasn't looked after properly. And bed sores are so painful. Turns into sepsis.
And the host woman of the house was a nurse! Amazing
This man, Casey Kasem was a national treasure. Everybody who grew up in the 70s and 80s and 90s remember, hearing his voice he was horribly abused.

The love of money is the root to all evil
@@ctguniversal 🎯
Disco Duck forever!! Rest in paradise Casey 💞 love and strength to your children
A classic case of what gold digger can do… buried in far faraway land to keep away from children live or dead.
In my opinion the wife and the children both treated Casey kasem like the rope in a tug of war.. surely there could have been better ways to solve their issues than to put him in the middle as the rope.. despicable really.
How could Jean and her psycho Snoopy friend say he was in absolutely no pain? He had a STAGE 3 ulcer. An open sore through to the bone. That woman is evil. How could she say the doctor’s report on admission to the hospital is a lie.
They removed his hydration because his organs were failing. He would have been bloating and in pain if hydration was continued.
Team Kids all the way - Jean is a terrible actress and her attempt to turn sympathy toward herself fails miserably. She clearly terrorized those kids and made choices that led to Casey's death. The ulcer in his back (to the bone!!) was the game changer for me. Snoopy Nurse Lady didn't notice that??? Don't tell me it developed in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Eyeroll.
You know, I agree with you on every point. I was laughing out loud at her dramatic interview responses. But I have to tell you, if my step-kids took their dad with dementia off to create legal documents that left me out of the loop.....I'm not going to have a good reaction to that. If Casey was able to clearly state what he wanted then they definitely should have gotten it on video, and that makes me think they were up to shenanigans. What Casey really should have done was get it all down on paper the moment he knew he had a disease that caused dementia.
As for the ulcer on his back, that didn't happen overnight. Bed ridden patients get them, even with the best of care, and often they can only be managed, not cured. It's likely he'd had it some time and everyone who provided care to him knew about it. What is more concerning is Jean had his feeding tube removed. There was absolutely no reason to do that other than to be switching to Comfort Care/End of Life Care. Nothing else makes sense, because why would you remove it? I can just about promise you (I'm a nurse) it was put in because he couldn't swallow.....that means he wasn't getting the hydration he needed, and I would say that is where the infections and organs shutting down came from. Most people don't live past a week once hydration is stopped. Without that tube he likely couldn't take medications or anything else. By the time the kids got him back to the hospital it was all too late.
What surprised me is that Jean didn't say she and Casey had decided that once he wasn't able to swallow his own food or if there came a time when he didn't recognize his family that he would be removed from care and allowed to pass. She could have effectively made a case for "Casey wanted to die at home and that was decided long before any of this happened." Maybe no one would have bought it since she had him in nursing homes? Again, if Casey had made a living will the moment he found out he had dementia, it would have prevented a lot of this.
I still think the kids are most genuine and cared about their dad. Jean clearly was being spiteful right up to the end.
@@msdarby515 - thank you! It's interesting to hear a nurse's perspective on this. Regarding the documents, though, I can understand if they believed their dad was being mistreated that they'd try to find a legal way to take over his care. Yes, the method was questionable but in a desperate situation, I can see why they'd do it. As for the ulcer, what you said makes sense. Maybe that wasn't the "smoking gun" to show mistreatment. But yes, I think we're all in agreement that Jean is in the wrong overall.
I disagree .....he had the money to have the medicine ,nice air rotation mattress and nursing care to heal.....no excuses
They removed his water, food, and medical care but you are team kids. Wow.
Greedy kids don’t serve a penny!!! They didn’t make the money and they dehydrated their father to death
My dad worked with Mr. Kasem in Buffalo, NY before he became a huge star. Dad was the engineer who would DJ ..physically change the records while Casey did his MC Radio thing. They set up a call years later and Mr. Kasem called my dad and chatted over the phone. I am so sad to see when families go through so much over loss. Death will bring out the wildest sides of people. It is so sad! My respect and regards to all who loved him. He was a bright spot in my daddy's life. Blessings to ALLLL who loved him!
Wow, that's cool. I remember listening to Mr. Kasem's weekly broadcast of American Top 40 all through the 1970s.
Actually not death money especially greed
Wise words. I feel both sides loved him and thought they were doing the best for him at the said time. I'm English so have never heard of him before but he seems like he was a bit of a legend in the US.
@Lg Star well, yeah but as a person who has worked in an end of life/ Hospice care job, I have even seen my own family come unraveled and became estranged from my favorite aunt for over a decade. Yes, money and greed is a huge factor many times....but in my experience, the grief process can cause people to act in ways they would not normally act and sometimes unintentionally take their anger over the situation (of losing someone you loved so much) out on others who would normally be close. I'm not taking any sides here and perhaps the majority of opinions here are correct, but one thing I don't see is a lack of love for him. They disagreed about how to care for him and what his intentions were. Then that became a power struggle that was kicked up beyond where it should have been. I think the step-mom never should have kept his children from him. Most people would die for their kids. Money matters should have been irrefutable and arranged immediately after his dementia diagnosis. This whole thing is such a mess and I feel sad for his children. They all loved him.
@chasnfireflies0 I like that you are so respectful with your comments towards the families, we're only getting an hour worth of a decades long story and he has children by both of those kids mother's. Both my parents are deceased and I'm blessed that money and things did not tear my sister and I apart cause deep down we'd rather have them both here versus the possessions.
While she shed real tears, Jean does not come across as believable. She comes across as dramatic. And while Kerri comes across as angry, it's totally understandable. How very sad that Casey seemed to live a very unsettled life with his wife, which also affected his children. I'm so sorry to hear all of these details. 💔

Wow. The cause of death is obvious. He was 82 with a stage 3 DTI and urosepsis and they moved him.

You can’t stick people in different environments and not expect stress, and once you have exhausted all reserves, stress kills. Our bodies are all about energy. Once depleted, you die.

Her trying to keep her husband from his children says everything
The wife worked so hard to keep the kids away from their father, even while he was dying… her winning was more important than letting him see his kids. Even after all that, they alerted her to come and see him while he was about to die. That says a lot.
It was wrong what she did! She already had control over him as his wife and next of kin, but she was a control freak, and unstable. Very sad
I don't understand why Jeanne chose drama, tension instead of focusing on her husband's love for his children and putting that into making his final chapter peaceful. Instead Jeanne chose pettiness, vindictiveness and spite to prevent his own flesh and blood from spending time with their father. Sheesh that woman was something else.

Edit: In his condition, he should not have been moved. They didn't turn him in his bed, causing the bed sore leading to sepsis. At 82, with preexisting medical issues, he would not have recovered. How can she say he wanted to be buried in Israel, then bury him in Norway??? She did nothing, but play games with this man's life and death. it's sickening

Him having a UTI and an open wound almost to the bone is all I need to hear, he wasn’t getting the care he needed while at that house.
You've obviously never worked in a nursing home. When one is nearing death the body functions start shutting down & cellular repair virtually stops making healing bed sores extremely difficult. Also, the majority of bed sores occur at points on the body that tend to have the thinnest skin & most pressure against the bed (shoulder blades, tail bones, elbows even heels) so the claim of it being, "...almost to the bone" is an inflammatory statement geared to bias your opinion!

Marrying someone is the most consequential decision of our lives. Our first priority is our husband or wife and the law gives that person tremendous authority and rights.
Choose well.
My stepfather kept my mother from me. I spoke to her on a Wednesday and by Friday she was gone. He took her out of the hospital to sign over her house, property and bank account to him. He wouldn’t send her to a larger hospital where she could get proper treatment for blood clots entering her lungs and suffocating her. I found out later that if he had acted even four hours before her death she would have made it. I was halfway to her bedside when I found out she didn’t make it. The word anger doesn’t cover my emotion. He came to my house 1 month later and told me he was remarrying. Disgusting human being. I live with this by knowing he will pay one day if not in this life then the next.
Sorry this happened to you, don’t worry karma knows everyone addresses, the new wife will be be his downfall.

Shocking. I'm Italian and in Italy it's impossible to cut out your children from your will,whatever parents may sign .
He came bc he had such a sense of self importance that he told others how he went to “get your blessing “ and “pay honor to you and your mother “ as well as the self gratitude of sitting within your pain as he told you, which would feed him . I am so sorry, may you never have to cross his path again,’may you heal, and I am sorry for your loss .
Notice how that woman said "I'm not going to quit. I'm the daughter of a Marine". That's not what you say in this situation. That's what you say in a competition. I really can't believe she got away with what she did.
With *what,* exactly? Maybe she said it bc Kerri had been hosting the "UFC: Ultimate Ultimate Knockouts" for years, who knows?!
I, for one, can not believe how anyone could *let a severely ill person succumb in a hospital bed, in the worst way possible by taking him or her off of food, water, and pain medication.* A loving daughter would've allowed her father to pass away *peacefully and without additional increasing pain* in a decent hospice facility, or preferably in his familiar surroundings (at home) with the support of professional hospice-care nurses, but that would've taken up too much time, I guess.
FYI, they sued her for "wrongful death", up until settling in 2019, though Kerri was the one who got a court order so she could have the IVs yanked out of her dad's severely ill body on Wednesday, so he kicked the bucket the following Sunday on *Fathers Day.* So loving, so compassionate...
@@Faladaena you don't know what his last wishes were. Many people in hospice care reccomend a natural death with morphine.
if she had respect for her father being a Marine she would carry herself better.
A narcissist is always in competition for complete control and they are VERY vindictive to those who would stop them.
Crazy how a radio voiceover transcended a couple different generations and was a quintessential part of peoples memories growing up. He didn't change my life or save the world and having never heard him would have not affected me in any way, but because I was exposed to that voice and that countdown was so popular, it's something I can never forget and will take me back to childhood anytime I hear it.
We would always listen to him on the way home from church. RIP Casey.
Casey’s voice was the soundtrack for so many of our lives. The instant I heard it I was transported back in time.
Wow that evil wife is crazy, he needed to be in the hospital, and for him to have a bed sore almost to the bone is insane. She didn't care about his health at all
All we need to know is that he was in a lot of pain with an open wound to his bone, sepsis, and a urinary tract infection and that crazy wife kept saying “he wasn’t in pain.” She’s an abuser. Those poor children.
His wife killed him but she did it in such a way that nobody would suspect sir they killed
@@annahunt8988 maybe, maybe not. Maybe she's just a flake
I was raised with Casey
Without his medical history/condition, (and maybe a MD), there is really no way to rule a cause of death...Seeing as how the coroner confirmed natural causes...? One thing I DO KNOW, is that they perform due diligence in cases with a sizeable estate up for grabs...In other words, not enough evidence for anything other than natural disease progression...And, blood tests aren't that specific. The tox screen was clear; Which, is pretty much all they had to go on...The state would need to PROVE a case of starvation( not easy in his declining state...) Do I think the wife was crooked? Yes, but I cant prove it either!!!
She was "implying", he was getting pain medication...No way to know. Only "suspect"; Which, is all the state had to go on...IMPOSSIBLE to even investigate(much less indict, seeing as how natural causes was the official COD...) Best we can hope for is the estate is bankrupt by the time this is done...? "Just split the $, and be done with it", is the most rational response...
I definitely 💯 agree with the children. Casey NEVER should have been moved from the first hospital in Santa Monica, CA. By the time he got to the hospital in Washington state, he had a Urinary Tract Infection (extremely deadly as, if you do not treat it in the early stages, the infection can go directly to the brain.) Sepsis (an infection of the blood. If not treated in the early stages will cause death.) and a Stage 3 Ulcer. (Caused by Casey laying on his back for extended periods of time and not being turned on his sides.) These conditions were all caused by Jean’s decision to remove Casey from the first hospital and Casey not receiving proper medical treatment. These are just my opinions based on first hand experience. May Casey RIP. ✌🏻💖🌺
Yep he wasn't properly cared for.
You aren't wrong.
Ya clearly was in that bed and not bathed properly or prob at all or moved around at all. Prob in so much pain. No way he wasn't. I've been caregiver and I've seen it happen. Sometiems u can't help it cause they just can't move and it's alot. But she just wanted to keep him away from his loved ones and made a awful situation way way worse. Just sickening
Jean is a sociopath and should have been criminally charged. The spouse should not have 100 percent control. No one should ever be denied access to a family member. It’s wrong on so many levels
The wife loved him. The children loved his money
When my father was severely affected by Dementia, my mother had him sign his Will over to her, giving her all rights to everything to be dispersed how she wanted. She gets to do with it as she pleases until then (and she definitely has been enjoying every but of it).
When my mother was diagnosed with Dementia, my siblings had her remove myself and my 2 daughters from any and all inheritance. It is amazing what vanity can do to people. In a sad way, I'll be relieved when she passes so I can get through the reading of the Will.
My father ALWAYS bought 3 of everything (jewelry and momentos, etc...) to make sure we all got the same things when he passed. I couldn't care less about the money or all the lavish jewels he showered my mother with while they were married for 46 years. I would love to think that I would be able to receive just one of the items of the 3 he got for us, but I know my sister and brother have just divided them out amongst themselves.
When my dad got sick, the people I thought I knew for 36 years became people I would never want to associate with. They can have all the material goods when it comes time.
While my siblings couldn't find time to spend with our dying fater, and my mother took that time to plan what she was going to do with dad's life insurance payout; I got to take care of him in his last year of life. That time with him will always be worth more than any of them would know... if they are even capable of knowing the value that holds. I can go on knowing that my purpose in that family was to take care of him and give him the best life he deserved before he left this world.
@@djo6501 thank you so much for those kind words.
You will never regret that time with your dad. Those are precious times. I have a similar story, but not to your extent. I have now and had then a good relationship with my sibling. I won’t go into what happened with my mother but I think you can relate. I’m so very sorry.
Im so sorry. Very similar to my story as well. Heartbreaking.
So familiar, exactly like my family. Sister took ever penny before my parents were dead. I do not associate with her for obvious reasons. I never thought she would do that .
Sad situation indeed. Family plus money always equals disaster. Cherish the memories with your father and move on from the ones who don't treat you with respect.
