The judge overseeing Casey Kasem’s family feud reversed course Wednesday and revoked an earlier decision ordering doctors to artificially feed and hydrate the radio icon. 
 
 “You have blood on your hands,” Kasem’s wife of 34-years Jean Kasem said as she stormed out of the Los Angeles courtroom following the decision. 
 
 “You just imposed a death sentence,” her lawyer Steve Haney added as he followed her out. 
 
 Judge Daniel S. Murphy said he changed his mind after receiving medical records from St. Anthony’s Hospital near Seattle saying the ailing “American Top 40” host was not responding to artificial nutrition and fluids, leading to painful complications. 
 
 “It would be acutely harmful for Mr. Kasem to have nutrition and hydration restored at this time,” the judge said. “This was at the advisement of doctors at St. Anthony’s.”

 The judge upheld an earlier conservatorship granted to eldest daughter Kerri Kasem and said she can continue calling the shots during her dying dad’s final days. 
 
 He said Jean did not act “in the best interests” of her sick, 82-year-old husband when she removed him from a “skilled” California nursing home at 2:30 in the morning May 7 against doctors orders and took him to a private residence in Washington State. 
 
 Jean, 59, gave an impassioned speech to the judge before his Wednesday order claiming she and her daughter Liberty Kasem have been terrorized by Kerri since last year. 
 
 “We have lived in sheer horror of this girl,” she said, pounding her fist on a courtroom table over and over.

 She claimed her husband expressed his wish to live using eye and eyebrow movements during a five-minute meeting at the hospital last week. 
 
 “They had to pry his hands off me,” she told the judge under penalty of perjury. 
 
 “(Kerri) has had in her possession her father less than a week and decided to stop all medication and kill him,” she testified. 
 
 Kerri’s lawyer Troy Martin vehemently disputed that claim. 
 
 Casey Kasem was wheeled out of a Washington home on June 1. 
 
 “Nobody wants Mr. Kasem to die. This is without question the most difficult thing I have ever had to do and Kerri has had to do,” Martin told the judge Wednesday. 
 
 He said doctors at St. Anthony’s did try artificial hydration, and “it resulted in Mr. Kasem almost drowning.” 
 
 “This is very, very heart-wrenching,” Martin said. “(Mr. Kasem) is receiving morphine drips. Dehydration might be a terrible way to die, but he’s receiving medication to keep him comfortable.”

 He was admitted into intensive care June 1 in critical condition with an infection related to a “serious” bed sore, the hospital said in a statement last week. 
 
 “We have tried everything to keep him alive. We did put him back on fluids, but we had to take him off again because his lungs were filling up. It sounded like he was drowning. It was excruciating to watch,” Kerri, 41, told the Daily News Monday. 
 
 “The feeding was backing up because he can’t digest,” she said, her voice choking with emotion. “This is breaking my heart. We’re been trying for nine days to keep him alive. There’s nothing we want more than for our dad to be here with us.”

 Spokesman for hospital says Casey Kasem being treated for wounds, blood pressure issues 
 
 He had been at a friend's home in Washington state after his wife took him there 
 
 She has been feuding with three stepchildren over the radio icon's care 
 
 Renowned radio personality Casey Kasem is in critical condition at a hospital in western Washington, a spokesman for St. Anthony Hospital told CNN in a written statement Thursday. 
 
 "Mr. Kasem is alert and appears comfortable at this time," Scott Thompson, a spokesman for the facility in Gig Harbor added. 
 
 The 82-year-old former host of "American Top 40" and "Casey's Top 40" is receiving antibiotics through IVs, blood pressure support medicine and care for his bed sores, Thompson said. 
 
 Kasem was admitted to the hospital Sunday after one of his daughters and an ambulance crew retrieved him from a home where he and his wife were staying with friends. 
 
 "Any further updates on Mr. Kasem's condition will be at the discretion and approval of his children," Thompson said. 
 
 Danny Deraney, a representative of daughter Kerri Kasem, told CNN that members of the family, including Casey Kasem's brother, were flying to Washington. When asked if they feared Casey Kasem might die, Deraney said it could be his last moments or he could get better. Deraney clarified that he never meant that Kasem's health was failing as was reported by several media outlets. 
 
 On Thursday, a message appeared on the Twitter account of Deraney PR, saying that Kasem was in "stable condition." A patient can be listed as both critical and stable, if his condition is poor but not deteriorating further. 
 
 The radio icon has been at the center of a family feud between Jean Kasem, his wife of 34 years, and his three children from his first marriage. 
 
 Kerri Kasem; her sister, Julie; and their brother, Mike Kasem, have contended since last year that Jean Kasem has prevented the three siblings from visiting their father. 
 
 Kasem has Lewy body disease, the most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's, and has been bed-ridden for some time. 
 
 He had been at a facility in Santa Monica, California, before Jean Kasem took him to Washington state after his daughter Kerri Kasem won temporary conservatorship over her father's care. 
 
 Last week, a Washington court granted Kerri Kasem the right to visit her father one hour a day and to have him examined by a doctor. 
 
 On Friday afternoon, a Kitsap County judge will continue the hearing and get an update on the situation, Deraney said. 
 
 Deraney expected the judge to rule on whether Jean Kasem would have to let Kerri Kasem have more input on where her father lives and who cares for him. 
 
 Casey Kasem, who was also the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon "Scooby-Doo" and an announcer for NBC, retired in 2009. 
 
 Kasem's daughter wins additional powers in court ||||| Story highlights Casey Kasem died last month, but has yet to be buried 
 
 Even before his death, his family was battling over his care 
 
 Kasem's daughter says she doesn't know where the body is; his wife says it's not missing 
 
 The family battle that surrounded radio host Casey Kasem during his final days continues to rage on after his death. 
 
 Although the 82-year-old passed away on June 15, his body has yet to be buried. Now, according to Danny Deraney, the publicist for Kasem's daughter Kerri Kasem, the family doesn't know where his body is. 
 
 "We are not surprised," Kerri Kasem told to CNN. "We expected something like this to happen." 
 
 Discord between Kasem's wife of more than 30 years, Jean Kasem, and his adult children from his first marriage led to multiple legal clashes and court hearings in the months before to Kasem died. 
 
 Kerri Kasem was given a conservatorship over her father's health, which Jean Kasem subsequently fought in court, claiming his children were prematurely ending their father's life.

 Deraney says Jean Kasem has now removed her husband's body from a funeral home in Washington state. 
 
 Before Kasem's passing, Jean Kasem removed her ailing husband from a care facility in Santa Monica and took him on a cross-country car journey to stay at a home of family friends in Washington. 
 
 Sgt. Rudy Camarena with the Santa Monica Police Department declined to comment, telling CNN, "Mr. Kasem's matter is an open and ongoing investigation." 
 
 Meanwhile, Jean Kasem denies that her late husband's body is missing. 
 
 "It's not," she told CNN. "Would you leave us to grieve in peace?" 
 
 Candace Corkum at the Gaffney Funeral Home in Tacoma, Washington, confirmed that the facility had been in possession of Casey Kasem's body, but said that it was no longer in their care. 
 
 She could not provide information about the circumstances in which his body was removed from the funeral home.
– Casey Kasem's children have decided to remove life support for their father, allowing him to die at a hospice facility in Washington state with them by his side. They tell TMZ Kasem's health directive document says that he does not want "life-sustaining procedures, including nutrition and hydration," if "the extension of my life would result in mere biological existence, devoid of cognitive function, with no reasonable hope for normal functioning." And a judge in the contentious conservatorship case surrounding Kasem yesterday reversed a ruling requiring doctors to keep the 82-year-old alive, so Kasem's kids have decided to withhold food, fluids, and medications. The judge said he received medical records showing that Kasem was not responding to the nutrition and fluids he's been receiving, that painful complications have resulted, and that doctors recommend the nutrition and fluids be withheld, the New York Daily News reports. He upheld daughter Kerri Kasem's conservatorship over her father, despite the fact that Kasem's wife, Jean, with whom the children have been feuding over his care, insisted Kasem told her last week, via eye and eyebrow movements, he wants to live. She said as she left the court hearing that Kasem's kids will have their father's blood on their hands, but Kerri Kasem insists to the Daily News they've done all they can: "We had to take him off [fluids] because his lungs were filling up. It sounded like he was drowning," she says, and "the feeding was backing up because he can’t digest."
