Casey Kasem, Voice of Shaggy, Passed Away

[Tom Bombadildo]

Casey Kasem, most known for voicing Shaggy on the popular show Scooby Doo, died today at 82 years old. This was to be expected, as he had had Lewy body dementia and was in a hospice.

Casey Kasem, who counted down top-40 music hits on the syndicated radio show he hosted from the reign of the Eagles to the age of Beyoncé and who entertained millions of cartoon watchers as the voice of Scooby-Doo’s human sidekick, Shaggy, died June 15 at a hospital in Gig Harbor, Wash. He was 82.

Danny Deraney, a publicist for his daughter Kerry Kasem, said that the hospital did not give an immediate cause of death. Mr. Kasem had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder, and was in hospice care.

This is pretty sad news, used to love watching Scooby Doo growing up.
