Casey Kasem died Sunday morning at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Gig Harbor Wash. on June 15. The original voice of the “American Top 40” countdown and voice of Shaggy on “Scooby Doo” was taken off life support at age 82.

Kasem suffered from a progressive form of dementia known as Lewy Body Disease.

On June 11 a Los Angeles judge ruled that Kasem’s daughter could resume end of life proceedings, withholding food, fluids and medication, on the understanding that he was mentally incapacitated and life support would only prolong his pain.

His death Sunday morning followed years of feuding between his children and second wife, Jean. In October of 2013, Kasem’s children claimed that Jean would not allow them to see their father, staging a protest with signs that read “Let Casey See His Kids.” Eventually, they came to a private settlement which allowed for visitation.

The news was initially announced by Kasem’s daughter, Kerri who addressed her father’s death on Facebook.
