Sad considering what he went through in his last days. Kasem was a well known voice actor who did the voice of the original Shaggy from Scooby Doo and he did some Top 10 Music Videos ways back. I wish his last days wasn't filled with him being in a tug o war with his "wife" and daughter.

He did Shaggy's voice? I never knew that.

I just read, terrible that the whole saga ended that way. At least they found him so his family could say goodbye.

More than that. His American Top 40 was one of the top radio shows for two decades. The guy was a legend.

He did quite a few voices for cartoons, although Shaggy on Scooby Doo was the first. There was an interview at one point where he said if someone had told him that 30+ years later Scooby would still be shown and have multiple new shows and movies, he'd have had the person committed.

Yes he was and I guess that's what irks me the most about this, this guy was a legend and yet his last days where filled with him being in a tug-o-war between his "wife" and children, he deserved better. Well at least he was able to be with his children in his final days so his kids could say good-bye but something tells me there's going to be a nasty legal battle in the future.
