Jett Travolta (16) Passes Away

January 3rd 2009 06:37
Devastating news. Jett Travolta, the only son of John Travolta, died of a seizure while vacationing with family in the Bahamas. The sixteen-year-old boy had a history of seizures and suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome, though skeptics claim Jett suffered from Autism. Along with Tom Cruise, John Travolta has taken much heat for being a follower of Scientology. Kelly Preston went on Oprah negating the use of house hold cleaners which included chemicals. In 2003 Preston told Montel Williams that when Jett was 2 he became "very, very ill, but it seemed like flu symptoms" before being diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. The condition, which usually affects children from ages 2 to 5, can cause inflammation of the arteries. Usually treatable, it can lead to lasting heart damage in rare cases.


Unfortunately, Jett hit his head in the bathroom while suffering from a seizure. The boy shared a love for flying with his famous father, hence the name "Jett". John Travolta stated, "I was obsessive about his space being cleaned. We constantly had the carpets cleaned," Travolta said in a 2001 interview with CNN's Larry King. During the same interview Travolta spoke of how his son nearly died when he was 2.

It is a shame to see someone so young pass away. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Travolta family as they walk through this devastating time. It is obvious how much Jett was loved and adored by his family. Hopefully, people will remember their tragic loss and not fixate on the bizarreness of Scientology and how it may or may not have affected their son’s health.
