Jett Travolta Dead at 16 (John Travolta’s Son)

Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of John Travolta has died after suffering a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

Travolta’s attorney, Michael Ossi, tells Reuters that attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene.

Access reports Jett fell and hit his head on a bathtub at the hotel. TMZ reports Jett was taken to the Rand Memorial Hospital.

Travolta, 54, wife Kelly Preston, 46, and their family had been vacationing in the Bahamas. Travolta and Preston also have a daughter, Ella, 8.

Travolta has said Jett suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome (a condition that leads to heart disease in rare cases). Preston has also said Jett suffered from asthma and blamed household cleaners, fertilizers and pesticides for sparking the condition. According to People, she credited a detoxification program based on the writings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard with helping to improve Jett’s health.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Travolta family and friends.

I bet you any amount of money that the coroner assigned to this case is a member of the cult of scientology, they have done it before and they will do it again.

seriously, how many more children must die?

rofl. i can’t wait for the funeral. it will be a-list celebrities: the travoltas, tom cruise, katie holmes, will smith, kirsty alley, jason dohring, jason lee, jenna elfman, leah remini, beck, giovanni , lisa marie presley, jerry seinfeld. i’m sure et and access hollywood will be covering the event.

This is a picture of John Travolta kissing Jett’s “caretaker”, the guy who found him the morning AFTER he went into the bathroom and never came out. I guess nobody even noticed he went missing the night before.

REST IN PEACE JETT TRAVOLTA

That is terrible.
My condolences to John and his family.

I really hope Scientology had no part in this…..they have no tolerence for people with special needs…they are deemed un-fit. They go to horrible lengths to “cure” them of their mental disabilities.

Oh no! This is horrible. I was shocked when I heard this. I am so sorry for the family loss. RIP Jett.

224 you’re an idiot. That’s not the treatment for Kawasaki Syndrome.

My condolences goes out to the family. May Jett RIP.
I do want to comment on some of really ignorant comments I have read here. First of all, I don’t know the condition of the chil- whether he had suffered autism or not. And if he did was he ever treated, etc. However, to only regard “western medications” as the proper treatment is such a BS &$#+*!!! No I am not an scientiolgist nor do I know their practices or believes. But I can assure you people that it is not only scientiologists whom don’t believe in the “proper western medical treatment” many other people also shy away from them. And contrary to the myth (or what your TV tells you) western medications don’t usually provide cure, they “manage” the symptoms or keep them under control. So people can continue to function normal. There are usually many side effects when taking those Meds and they can become addictive or cause people to have to depends on them. But many people are seeking healthy alternative treatment so they can treat the root of the problem and not have to depend on Meds for life!!!! Ok. I am not trying to discredit any medical treatment and I am sure they have saved or helped many lives. I too also take medicatons as needed. And I am grateful that we have access to all those care. I am also not making any defense for any one. It just makes me sad that people are so ignorant… Don’t just listen to whatever your TV tells you!

My best for the family.

So sorry to hear of their loss. As a pediatric nurse, (and one who took care of him in 1994 at CHLA) there can be nothing worse than losing a child, irregardless of the circumstances. I’m sure that as the loving parents they are, they savored every day with their child…. So sorry.

just jared on the payroll @ 01/03/2009 at 12:12 am

and - just jared is blocking anti sci comments too
(and yes - i bet this is posted - just to undermine my post)

how much has this site been paid for placements ads by tom cruise - the cults number 2?

I am both saddened and appalled at this death but scientology is known for their stance against ’some’ medical intervention - so why shouldn’t the questions be asked- so the truth can be told?

if you search youtube you’ll find many vids of the leader of scientology and tom cruise and others discussing the global obliteration of psychiatry… and more

MY CONDOLENSES TO THE FAMILY :(:(:(

#235, I had a comment of mine blocked too earlier. Scientology is known for threatening people, and I’m sure that their people threatened all of the websites that allow comments that they had better monitor the comments on this subject. They are very litigious, they will sue over anything.

This is very sad, my condolences goes out to the Travolta family! This is so devastating to hear!

May God Bless John Kelly and Bella as they go through this terrible time in their lives. It deeply saddens in my heart that a young person be called home so early.

God Bless you and keep you.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to John, his wife and family and friends. Rest In Peace, Jett.

Even IF (and nobody here knows this or not) the Travoltas didn’t get “treatment” for autism, guess what, autism is not some fatal disease. People don’t die from autism. They do get seizures sometimes. You can use medication to “lesson” the possibility of seizures, but they DO NOT PREVENT seizures.

So tell me then, how exactly did Scientology “kill” this boy?

RIP poor Jett…the look in that kids eyes is so sad. He counted on his parents to do the best for him as he was too helpless to do it himself. We can’t know if they let him down or not…they’re the ones who have to live with their decisions. Hiding him away because Scientology considers people with such illnesses to be inferior beings is so tragic. I just hope that is not what happened.

This is terrible…I love John and Kelly so much… what terrible pain they must be going through…I am truly sorry for their loss…god bless you and your family, John

This is terrible…I love John and Kelly so much… what terrible pain they must be going through…I am truly sorry for their loss…I feel so sad..it always happens to the best people..god bless you and your family, John

DAMN, THE KID HAD SEIZURES! WHY DIDN’T THEY PUT HIM ON SEIZURE MEDICATIONS? OH, THAT’S RIGHT THIS PSYCHO FAMILY DOESN’T BELIEVE IN ANY KIND OF MEDICAL HELP! DCF SHOULD TAKE AWAY THEIR DAUGHTER! JOHN & KELLY ARE FU*KIN A$$HOLES! THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GET! WILL SOMEONE STOP USING MY NAME! DAM*N IT!

I feel like giving this poor kid a BIG HUG! But he’s dead now.

No doubt I think the parent’s decision to follow the Cult of Scientology only contributed to his illness and the seizures it brought forward.

God Bless his soul. He’s in better hands now.

my condolence to the travolta family

its so sad and at this time of the year

once in and again..... @ 01/03/2009 at 1:25 am

@207
Your suppose to enter into the body of a baby just being born. I’ve known Scientologists to tell spirits to go to a hospital and get a new body.
@214
I don’t want to go on too much about it right now but I will tell you that most Scientologists, if not all really believe what “pandaamanda” wrote, they just don’t communicate that to people not in the church. They have no tolerance for people with special needs. During my entire 10 years involved I never saw one person in a wheel chair at a church org or handicapped or even elderly. They think of mentally challenged people as DB’s, degrated beings. Same with homeless people and even gay people. This is another issue I had with the church. I was speaking with a scientologist once about my friends sister who needed around the clock care and she said it would be better if she just went ahead and died (scientologists like to say “dropped their body”) so she could pick up another body in another lifetime. There is no compassion and this is how a lot of Scientologists feel on the subject point blank. They believe they will just live again and have lived milions of lives already so death is not thought of the same as most people.
I am a member of Annonymous now and that’s why I’m writing this, I want people to know the truth about Scientology and that it is not safe. It is an extremely radical sect and can kill innocent people. I myself believe in God now and feel that Jett IS in heaven with the Lord and will suffer no longer. But I can’t help but feel sorry for the family because Scientology or not, death is the hardest thing to go thru. But maybe they will open their eyes and see the truth.

My age….I feel so bad. I give all my condolences.
