Legendary DJ Casey Kasem was flanked by family members in a Washington state hospital Thursday after a life-threatening health scare, a source told the Daily News.  The frail, 82-year-old Kasem’s condition stabilized following a frightening “turn for the worse” for the music-industry fixture, the source indicated.  His daughters, Kerri and Julie, were at the undisclosed hospital with their father, while their brother, Mike, was on his way to Washington, according to the source.  Danny Deraney, a spokesman for daughter Kerri Kasem, confirmed his “blood pressure was low and it is serious” — the latest in a series of setbacks for the iconic radio voice.  Kasem was brought to the hospital Sunday after a 911 call from the Bremerton, Wash., home where he has been staying with his wife, Jean. Kerri Kasem has been fighting bitterly with her stepmother over her dad’s health. A doctor was in the house with the bickering duo when sheriff’s deputies arrived.  Jean Kasem hurled a package of ground beef at her stepdaughter, and later explained her bizarre choice of weapon: “When a person is about to pass away, there are always rabid dogs.”  In court papers filed Wednesday in Kitsap County, Jean Kasem accused her stepdaughter of a making a money grab for her father’s fortune.  But Kerri Kasem, who said her dad is also suffering from dementia, denied the accusation.  Kasem’s three children are all successful and have repeatedly insisted they only want what’s best for their father.  “For her to say I want my dad’s money for the Church of Scientology is defamation of character,” Kerri Kasem told The News on Thursday.  The 41-year-old daughter previously said she has studied multiple religions, including Catholicism, Buddhism and Scientology.  Jean Kasem is trying to bring her husband of 34 years home from the hospital, although a Washington judge said that won’t happen unless doctors approve the transfer. She removed Kasem from a Santa Monica, Calif., nursing home in May, leaving his worried kids to file a missing-person report.  Kasem’s familiar voice boomed regularly from radios across the nation during his long run as host of the weekly “American Top 40” program. He also voiced Shaggy in the “Scooby-Doo” cartoon.
The family of iconic DJ Casey Kasem gathered Thursday at a West Coast hospital after his failing health took a turn for the worse, according to local television stations.
