Casey Kasem's body is missing

This story is getting weirder and weirder. Last week it was announced that his body was shipped to Montreal by his widow. Today it was announced that the funeral home in Montreal never got the body.

Here's what the RAMP Newsletter reported this morning...

It seems that last Wednesday, a judge had granted Casey's daughter Kerri Kasem a temporary restraining order preventing her stepmother Jean Kasem from removing Casey's body from the Gaffney Funeral Home or cremating his remains pending a decision about who would conduct a possible autopsy. However, it turns out that Jean Kasem had already filled out a death certificate indicating that Kasem's body should be transferred to the Urgel Bourgie Funeral Home in Montreal -- a move that made no sense to anyone who happened to be in full possession of their mental faculties. Making a strange twist even stranger, that Canadian facility later told the Associated Press that Kasem's body was not there, nor was his name in its system. "My dad has nothing to do with Canada. He lived in Los Angeles for 45 years," Kerri Kasem told The New York Daily News. "It just once again proves that my stepmother is not acting in my father's best interest or respecting his wishes." Kerri has repeated said that her father wanted to be buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. The situation is "pure insanity."
