It has been confirmed that the remains of legedary disc jockey and radio host Casey Kasem have been laid to rest in Norway. Kasem died on June 15, 2014 but was not buried due to a long running dispute between Kasem’s wife, Jean, and his children by a previous marriage, his body was not buried.
Kasem died in June, but his body was left to languish for months as his eldest daughter, Kerri, and her siblings fought with Jean Kasem, his wife of 34 years, for formal custody of their father’s remains.
Shortly after the broadcaster’s death near Seattle on June 15, Jean Kasem moved the body to Montreal and then Norway, moves, the children said, were an attempt to sidestep their accusations of elder abuse.
In a court filing last month, Kerri claimed Jean did not have the body embalmed before leaving the country, causing it to rot “significantly.”
