Casey Kasem's corpse periodically calls in to the Howard Stern Show to give listeners updates on where he is in the world, and Tuesday morning, he had a fun new countdown: the top 5 ways to die in Africa.

Leading the countdown, we've got:
#5. "Ebola."

Coming up at #4: "Somali Pirates." "Look out Tom Hanks, they're coming for you!" Casey said.

#3: "Being shot by a man with no legs."

Knocking starvation out of the countdown, # 2. "Hungry, hungry hippos."

And #1. "Good, old fashioned, home grown AIDS."

And there you have it, from Casey Kasem, "you're number one source for all things dead."

"Did you think AIDS was still going to be number one? I did," Stern said.

Kasem died in June 2014, and his body has yet to be buried.

According to a report by TMZ, "CASEY KASEM has yet to be laid to rest, and TMZ is reporting his "body is decomposing in a Scandinavian mortuary ...

and his kids have gone to court before there's no body left to bury."

The Stern Show has kept a running joke featuring an impersonator mimicking Kasem's voice and pretending to be his corpse. He occasionally still reports the top 5 songs of the week.

In August, Stern jokingly nominated Kasem for the Ice Bucket Challenge, and not too surprisingly, many people took him seriously. He may be dead, but he's not buried, and therefore eligible for the challenge. Sarcastically.

RIP Casey. Here's to hoping his remains are taken care of in a respectful manner... eventually.
