The statement did not refer to Jett's medical history or possible cause of death. But it offered thanks from the Hollywood star, his wife and their eight-year-old-daughter, Ella, for 'many messages of condolence from around the world.' As many of his Hollywood friends called to offer their support, the actor described the frantic efforts to revive his 16 year-old son Jett.

Yeah, but a liberal with a conscience! From what I’ve read, he was very supportive of our efforts in Iraq. He has not smeared our Pres. or our military, at least not publicly! In fact there were a handful of liberals that were just like him in that regard. I wish there were more of them in Hollywood, instead of some of the kooky, obnoxious ones, don’t you?
Besides, why are you bad-mouthing him at a time like this? Isn’t this thread here to mourn with the man and his family, not to bash him for his political beliefs? So he’s a liberal, we all know that. But that’s not important at a time like this! I’d even feel badly for liberals like Barbra Streisand or Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin for something like this! As someone has already requested on here, let’s cut the guy and his wife a break, huh?
Travolta death cert lists seizure
Jett Travolta's death certificate lists "seizure" as the cause of death.
No word on the coroner's findings, at least not yet.
The funeral home says "The body was in great condition and shows no sign of head trauma," despite police and family who say the boy hit his head either on the toilet seat, bathtub or both.
The body is currently en route to the airport to be flown back to Florida.
(that's a little bizarre.)
