John Travolta's son dies...

[Zenbaas]

He hit his head while on a bath tub, not even the Pope is immune to an accident like that.

Thats what I was thinking...head trauma..?

He had a fit while in the bath and hit his head. A fit induced by his illness which was being treated using scientology methods - detox! The mind boggles...

The parents should be charged, or at least investigated.
They withheld life saving medication from him - no proper autopsy - quick cremation ???

Critics of Scientology suggested yesterday that Jett may have been suffering from autism, a condition that the church does not recognise because it considers mental illness to be psychosomatic and argues that it should be treated through spiritual healing.

Joey Travolta, the star’s film-maker younger brother and an autism activist, reportedly clashed with his brother about what was wrong with Jett. Joey Travolta worked on a documentary called Normal People Scare Me and helped to found Actors with Autism.

Jett took the anti-seizure drug Depakote for several years, reducing the frequency of his seizures from an average of every four days to once every three weeks, they said, but the drug lost its effectiveness. The Travoltas, after consulting neurosurgeons [Xenu ?], stopped administering it and Jett went back to having one seizure a week [and ultimately death].

This is not the first time Scientology is involved in a case like this, there were previously quite a few cases where people were taken of their medicine because Scientology don't believe in that and then they died. But you see because these people went of their medicine "by own choice" the law can't do anything to Scientology.....rather sick isn't it.

I wonder if money will spare John Travolta from jail just like it did for O J Simpson.

Paramedic Tarino Lightbourn - who rushed 16-year-old Jett to hospital after he was found collapsed at the family's Bahamas hotel following a seizure on Friday (02.01.09) - has revealed the actor broke down and clung to his son's body when he was told he had passed away.

Tarino said: "John went behind the hospital curtain, tears in his eyes. I could see the sorrow. I could see the love in his eyes for his son. [not forgetting that he's an actor]

"When he was hugging his son he said, 'I'm sorry, Jett.' I think he meant, 'I'm sorry Jett, I did all I could do.' "

He did NOT do everything he could - he deprived his own son of life saving medication because of a vile cult that demanded it.

Why the fsck would they entertain only Scientolgy's methodology?

I don't care if I was indoctrinated into "Swingers-R-Us" and told that my sagging falice would clear itself up. I'd still make a mission to a clinic.

This is sad, not that it's a celebs kid - many kids and people in general die every minute.
The sad part is that they are loaded with cash, should at least be thought of as being rational (though, this tragedy proves the converse) and they did not exhaust all of the options that are available.
Though even without all the cash, rational loving parents would still knock down every door for their kids.

This was a their child's life, that they played with.
They did not take proper care of him.
Yes the seizure could have happened at anytime, with Scientolgy's crap or with the help of modern medicine.
But the fact that they turned away from another (or any) approach to enhance their son's life/lifestyle is deplorable.

At the end of the day, his number was up and it was time for him to go.

Rest well Jett Travolta.
Hopefully your passing won't be a waste and will enlighten, firstly your parents and then hopefully a few more.

Hello.... did anyone actually read this bit??

Jett took the anti-seizure drug Depakote for several years, reducing the frequency of his seizures from an average of every four days to once every three weeks, they said, but the drug lost its effectiveness. The Travoltas, after consulting neurosurgeons , stopped administering it and Jett went back to having one seizure a week [and ultimately death].

Every report so far has been sensationalist and speculative to the extreme. Beyond me how people are jumping to conclusions just because the big S is mentioned.
