A Kitsap County Superior Court Judge says ailing radio legend Casey Kasem could return to the home where he and his wife, Jean, have been staying with friends if there’s medical supervision and doctors say it is safe to transport him.
Kasem was taken to a Gig Harbor hospital after what was reportedly quite a scene as the ambulance took him away.
KING 5 reports Kasem’s wife was yelling at Kasem’s daughter, Kerri, and the media, and actually threw some raw meat in the direction of her stepdaughter.
Kasem’s spokesperson, Danny Deraney, told The Associated Press that Kerri Kasem accompanied her father when an ambulance took him Sunday afternoon to receive care.
His condition isn’t known, but Kerri Kasem said in court Friday that her father is suffering from bedsores and lung and bladder infections. She also has said her father has a form of dementia.
Amid an ongoing dispute between Kerri Kasem and her stepmother, Jean Kasem, a Kitsap County judge ruled Friday that Kerri Kasem could have a doctor of her choosing examine her father.
The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office has said appropriate medical care has been provided.
A message left for Jean Kasem’s representative wasn’t immediately returned.
Casey Kasem and his wife have been staying with friends west of Seattle.
