That really sucks. Travolta seems like a really great guy.

Was very disappointed at the smear piece in the NYP today suggesting he was denied meds because of Scientology teachings.

Scientology's weird enough, but give them a break. They've just lost their son.

Apparently he may have been both autistic and prone to seizures. I don’t know much about Scientology...but after the whole Tom Cruise/what’s her name incident over depression meds...would there have been anything in their religion preventing Jett from taking meds for the seizures?

How very sad. A parent’s worst nightmare.

He seems like he had some physical problems. In the photos I notice his hands and feet don’t look quite right. I wonder what his condition was?

It is always sad when a parent buries a child.

He is a scientologist that avoids mental health doctors ( not sure about medical doctors)

This kid has autism according to folks that knew them, and there was no medical/ mental health treatment. His “seizures “were so bad that they had to have 2 “nannies” with him at all times.. I wonder why the kid was not medicated.. seizure after seizure ends up with brain damage and eventually death.If he needed 2 people all the time, it sounds like uncontrolled seizure activity was a way of life.

I feel sorry for any parent that loses a beloved child, but have to wonder just how proud they really were of this “defective” child . After all scientology is supposed to protect the adherent from having bad things happen to them . God know Travolta has probably dropped a fortune to be audited to perfection..

My sympathies to the children of scientology.. they have crazy parents

Dear Lord Jesus,
We pray your comfort on JT and his family during this horrible time. We pray you give him strength and you grace upon him. We pray that the family will feel you embrace them.

In Your Holy Name
Amen

Gosh and all these stars flying to be with them? I feel they just want to be in the limelight of this sad situation. If I had just lost a son....I would not want to see or be with anybody except my immediate family.

I hope they have a strong marriage. They’re going to need it big time.

Liberal—”shiberal”—What difference does it make? The family is in pain because they have lost a precious child. We should all be in prayer that God will be with them in this time of loss.

While there is much the Travolta's and I disagree on, in regard to faith and politics, the loss of a child crosses all barriers.

My heartfelt sympathies to Jett's parents, sister, family and friends. He was a beautiful child.

Update Monday afternoon:

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.)
