A month after Kasem's death, the case between his wife and children reportedly remains unresolved.
A month after his death, the body of late radio presenter Casey Kasem remains unburied. Kasem’s remains are still awaiting a private autopsy, as requested by his wife Jean Kasem. The autopsy is reportedly related to accusations that Jean Kasem sped up her husband’s death by transferring him from a nursing home to a private residence outside Seattle in the middle of the night. This news comes after a previous announcement that Kasem's friends and loved ones paid their final respects to the man at his funeral in Bel Air on June 21st.
