25. I don't know that it was that clear cut.

He was married to his current wife for 30+ years. She apparently did not want him to be removed from life support. His children from a previous marriage disagreed and Casey Kasem, himself had given medical power of attorney to his oldest daughter. I don't think this was a clear cut case of "new wife" vs. first family. It was more of a case of a long term wife (30+ years) not wanting to give up on the life of her husband, and the family not agreeing. In the end the Judge sided with his children, but it is heartbreaking all around.
Please don't disparage his wife, I don't know that I will be willing to let go of my husband that easily, even though I know his wishes are not to be kept around on life support. I feel for both sides.
