This is really a shame. From what I’ve read, Kasem’s dementia is in a very advanced stage. The particular type he has (something called Lewy Body), causes both mental and physical decline, emulating Parkinson’s like physical symptoms along with the mental decline, which can hallucinations, and losing the ability to communicate (Kasem supposedly has been unable to speak since at least last year).

I don’t know who’s in the right or wrong between the wife and kids (or if either is), but it’s terrible that Kasem is caught between them at a time when a family most needs to pull together and make peace with things.

Oh no, he has dementia too? Sad! Both my parents have alzheimers and now I,learn my first boss Casey Kasem has dementia too. I hope he can be reunited with his kids.
