Casey Kasem loaded in ambulance, taken to hospital after wife throws raw hamburger at daughter

Maybe they’ve never heard of shiga-toxin producing E. coli.

Radio legend Casey Kasem was taken to a hospital in Washington state Sunday after his wife threw a pound of raw hamburger meat at his daughter in a Biblical twist in the ongoing family feud over his health care.

who.throws.a.shoeThe 82-year-old Kasem was wheeled on a stretcher from a home where he’s been staying in Kips County, Wash., to a waiting ambulance, according to NBC News.

Kasem’s wife, Jean, appeared to be yelling at Kasem’s daughter, Kerri, as sheriff deputies and members of a motorcycle group watched the drama unfold.

The ugly incident comes just two days after a Washington judge granted Kerri Kasem, 41, permission to visit her ailing dad.

Jean Kasem, 59, became irate Sunday when Kerri showed up with an ambulance to take her father to a hospital.

“In the name of King David, I threw a piece of raw meat into the street in exchange for my husband to the wild rabid dogs,” Jean Kasem told NBC News, citing Biblical scripture.
