John Travolta Son Dies: Jett Travolta Dead
Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, has died.
According to Reuters, the teenager passed away at Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas while on vacation with his family for the holidays.
There have long been rumors that the often incognito Jett suffered from autism. The Travoltas however, who are devout Scientologists, have always denied those reports, instead maintaining that Jett suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease later in life.
Michael Ossi, an attorney for the family, says Jett suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the only son for Travolta and Preston, a former model. The couple also has a daughter, Ella Blue, age 8.
He was only a kid. This is just heartbreaking…..Blessings to the Travolta Family.

Well, the argument has always been the public saying he has autistism, and travolta stating its Kawasaki Syndrome.
One look at the symptoms (http://www.kawasaki-syndrome.com/info/what-is-kawasaki-syndrome/) I tend to go with the public.
Tragic news either way.

I don’t feel sad for him.
How many lives/soul has he misled with the scientology CULT?
Perhaps God would have looked out for him and his family a bit, if he just would have acknowledged HIM.
Sorry John, but oh well…
OUR MISSION = DESTROY THE SCIENTOLGY CULT

Jett was autistic. The fact that his parents always denied this did him, and the millions of others that have this condition,a huge disservice. Jett was a unique individual with a common developmental delay. It is heart breaking that his parents kept him hidden and did not celebrate him. As a parent, my heart bleeds for them. However, Jett deserved better. Scientology can NOT cure autism. The Travolta’s should not have been ashamed of their son.

To above poster: That’s sick. He’s lost his son and you’re using it to take shots at his religion. ~Who cares what he belives, he quite obviously loved his son and has suffered a major loss. No-one deserves to loose a child. If you are ever unfortunate enough to be in his situation i sincerely hope you realise what you have said is wwong.

“You dabble with the devil and he collects his dues.” Unfortunately, none of us know the details surrounding Jett Travolta’s death. If, in fact, it was preventable through modern medicine and the Travolta’s did not choose that path because of their belief in Scientology, then they alone will have to live with that, and their grief will be all the greater. There is no devil involved, only people clinging to religious beliefs over reason. Mike – I don’t know what religion you are, but if you still believe in a “devil” than your religion is no more reasonable than any other religion, including Scientology.

Mike,
I will assume by your unloving, and hateful commentary that you are a self proclaimed “Christ”ian. From what I have read about Jesus Christ, (probably more than you) he would have nothing but love, compassion, and consideration for Mr. Travolta during this unimaginable tragedy. Though it has been said that the goal of Christianity is to be “Christlike,” your comments sadly represent the majority of “Christians” and that is why some people like Mr. Travolta have found new faiths to turn to. After reading your poisonous comments, why would anyone want to join your faith? If the devil exists my friend, you are doing his work, not Mr. Travolta. You remind people like me why I stopped trying to go to church and put up with this sort of hatred and hypocricy.

to “Anti-fideism”,,,,,, If you don’t believe in the devil, satan, lucifer, ,demons, evil, , and ALL of that, then you need to wake up, that puts you in a very weak position., which could let you end up in hell,( that is the place where the devils rules, in case you don’t know that) and yes, there is a hell too, it is real. I could just go on and on, I am shocked that you are that clueless.

My deepest sorrow for this family who have just lost a child. My prayers are with John, kelly and that poor 8 year old little girl.
You have to have a cruel soul to use this time to talk about the family religion.
