Court Rules to Suspend Infusions for Voice Icon Casey Kasem

Well, that's a shame, in that we'll all miss hearing his talents, but if those are his wishes, and if he is a soul trapped in a withering body, then god bless and god speed, and thank you for making childhoods a little brighter Mr. Kasem.

well thats sad news, between cartoons & the radio i heard this guy throughout most of my life. Cliffjumper you and your talents will be missed

Sucks miss talent scooby movies still going on wander who will replace him ormaybe they will scooby movies, would have like to meet guy

Looks like he's on his last limb, guys. Times have been pretty rough for him lately what with his going missing for a while and his wife and daughter fighting each other over the proper care for him, worsening his condition further. I don't think he'll make it that much longer.

He will be missed by all his fans whether Scooby doo or transformers, he will be missed

Sad news, really going to miss his voice.

I do want to point out, though, speaking as someone who has been working exclusively with dementia patients for the past 17+ years, he isn't dying from his dementia, it doesn't really matter what for he has. It's the complications that result from the dementia like stroke, heart attack, organ failure, starvation, dehydration, and accidents that kill a person with dementia. In Kasem's case he's dying from a rampant infection caused by bed sores he received recently in the hospital. He'd be in better condition today if he was in a nursing home where he belonged rather than being moved from hospital to hospital while his family argues over who loves him more. It's a sad story that I've encountered far too many times.

Earlier this week, we reported that the courts have suspended the use of life-support for elderly voice actor and DJ Casey Kasem, who is suffering from Lewy body disease. We here at Seibertron.com regret to inform the public that Mr. Kasem has passed away earlier today at the age of 82.

During his career as a voice actor, Mr. Kasem is most famously known for lending his voice as Shaggy in Scooby Doo. As for his roles in The Transformers, Mr. Kasem voiced Cliffjumper, Bluestreak, Doctor Arkeville, Teletraan I, and the Dread slaves from the episode "Chaos".

We here at Seibertron.com offer our most sincere condolences to the friends and family of Mr. Kasem.

I WAS going to report about Casey's death, but I decided to wait it out.

Rest in peace Cliffjumper.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Rest in peace Mr. Kasem. Thanks for the memories.
