Casey Kasem’s Daughter Will Visit His Grave for First Time Since He Died in 2014 — with a Stranger’s Help

Late radio host Casey Kasem's eldest daughter Kerri Kasem opens up about finally visiting his grave on the 10th anniversary of his death, claims he suffered from elder abuse at the hands of her stepmom Jean before dying at 82. His widow, however, denies this was the case.

He was 82, and following years of decline due to advanced Parkinson’s Disease and Lou Body dementia, he reportedly died incapacitated and suffering from sepsis and an ulcerated bedsore after spending his final days mysteriously being moved from one state to another. Kerri also claims Jean buried Casey in Norway, against his wishes to be laid to rest at Los Angeles’ popular Forest Lawn cemetery, as a final blow to her and her siblings. “Following the illness and passing of my beloved husband of almost 38 years, I have faced numerous unfounded attacks from those seeking financial gain from his estate,” she tells PEOPLE in a statement via her attorney George Braunstein.
