Radio icon Casey Kasem was hospitalized in Washington on Sunday after a bizarre scene outside the home where he has been staying,
NBC News reports.
Events of the day reportedly culminated in Kasem's wife throwing a pound of hamburger meat at his eldest daughter from his first marriage.
Under an order issued Friday by Kitsap County Judge Jennifer Forbes, the radio personality's daughter Kerri was allowed to visit him for the first time since his wife removed him from a California facility and moved him to Washington without notifying his family. Forbes ruled Kerri Kasem, 41, would be able to take her father to be evaluated by a physician and hospitalized, if necessary.

Kerri Kasem testified that the doctor hired by Jean Kasem had told her that her 82-year-old father had developed infections in his lungs and bladder and has bed sores.
"Kerri was just very, very upset because her dad's health had declined so much since she and Julie saw him on May 6," her aunt Mary Kasem, who lives in Michigan, told NBC News. He just went backwards. She was so heartbroken on Friday that it broke my heart."
On Sunday, Kerri Kasem arrived at the home with an ambulance to take Casey Kasem to a hospital, but paramedics were not allowed inside the Silverdale residence. Minutes later, someone inside the home called 911, and a second ambulance and fire truck arrived. At some point, Jean Kasem, 59, walked downstairs and threw a pound of raw hamburger at Kerri. The paramedics eventually were able to pick up Casey Kasem.
After Casey Kasem was gone, Jean Kasem told NBC News she was following a King James verse when she threw the meat at her stepdaughter.
"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," she said.
A few hours after Forbes said she was going to carry out a Los Angeles judge's orders that Kerri Kasem be in charge of her father's medical care, Jean Kasem held a news conference and played cell phone audio of her husband moaning. She claimed that he was protesting the judge's decision.
Forbes has scheduled another hearing for Friday.
