Casey Kasem's Body

The saga of Casey Kasem's body is a strange one indeed. It's been confirmed. He's going to Oslo, Norway. From Tom Taylor's NOW column...

Daughter Kerri Kasem confirms to The Hollywood Reporter the speculation you heard last week – that Casey’s second wife Jean intends to bury him in Oslo, Norway. A private investigator working for Kerri confirms that a Norwegian government official has said “It is arranged. He is going to Oslo.” That is, Casey’s earthly remains are headed there, to the consternation of his three adult children and many friends in the radio industry. Kerry’s spokesman Danny Deraney says “we don’t know what [Jean’s] plans are…we just know that she wants to keep Casey away from [his] family and friends and by the looks of it, hiding from law enforcement.” Kerri’s pursuing her own theory of elder abuse by Jean. But Kerri’s P.I. on the case, Logan Clarke, says “I don’t think we need to exhume the body, [because] we have so much evidence – video, photos, witnesses - and the police have collected so much evidence.” Clarke says “if this is not elder abuse, there is no such thing.” He also vows that “if the police drop this case, I’ll take it on the 6 o’clock news.” Casey reportedly had very different ideas about where he was to be buried – like L.A.’s Forest Lawn Cemetery.
