John Travoltas 16 year old son dies

[Albert S Miller]

NASSAU, Bahamas - John Travolta's teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas after falling ill and hitting his head at his family's vacation home, police said Friday. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.

The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Another police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, said Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub.

A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport said she could not release any information because of privacy concerns.

Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community.

"The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them," said Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, the property's owner.

As if other religions aren't ridiculous either?  Wasn't there a christian couple who didn't get their daughter medical treatment, but prayed to god to cure her instead?  a-holes.

[Grouse]

Agreed, can't stand religious freaks who put their children's life on the line just because their religion doesn't "believe" in doctors. It's cult-like behaviour that's what it is.

People like that should be prosecuted in my opinion.

Oh no...did it have anything to do with how they managed his condition?  Please tell me it didn't.  I really hope he was being treated for his seizure disorder with modern medicine.

Please don't start pointing fingers until u know all the facts.

People on seizure medication can still have seizures. My brother took that shit our entire childhood and I occasionally would wake up in the middle of the night and have to run get my parents.

It's sad when a parent has to bury their own child.

D, don't start giving me shit.  Nobody here pointed fingers for fuck's sake.  No, seizure medication can't guarantee tragedy won't occur...but it sure the hell will decrease the risk of unfortunate events like this, and if you disagree you just don't like facts.  That said, if you look at my post tell me where the fuck I pointed fingers.

So sad...

So sad. My heart goes out to all of them.

Obviously the work of a new world order or some other secret society. I'd bet most of those responsible are affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations or Bilderbergs. Anyway, this is obviously beyond the scope of your comprehension, so back to you pathetic little lives monkeys.

N wasnt it one of the teachings in the bible that said learning new things was importent and a must for the human race.

I really can't believe the media attention this story is getting.  yeah its sad/tragic, but c'mon...  aren't there more important things going on in the world?

If u look at my post I never said "Axl4Prez"

I was talking more to Grouse and the others who assumed their religion didn't have him on medication. he had a nanny who was in the next room with a baby monitor. more info is coming out that Travolta gave his own son CPR.

It isn't like he died and laid their for 24 hours etc.

No.
