CASEY KASEM judge overrules court order OKs daughter to stop hydrating and feeding ailing radio legend as wife screams “You hve blood on your hands!”
Kasem’s wife Jean Kasem, 59, exploded and her lawyer Steve Haney dasmned all to an interminable hell saying, “You just imposed a death sentence,” her lawyer Steve Haney added as he followed her out.
Judge Daniel S. Murphy said he changed his mind after receiving medical records from St. Anthony’s Hospital near Seattle saying the ailing “American Top 40” host, 82, was not responding to artificial nutrition and fluids, leading to painful complications.“It would be acutely harmful for Mr. Kasem to have nutrition and hydration restored at this time,” the judge said.
“This was at the advisement of doctors at St. Anthony’s.”
