Travolta's Son Dead

John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett died today while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas, Reuters reports. The young man reportedly died after suffering a seizure at his family's vacation home on Grand Bahama Island. According to Access Hollywood, Jett fell and hit his head on the bathtub in his hotel room, and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. Jett, who had a history of seizures, is John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston's eldest child. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.

For many years now, there have been rumors about the Travolta's being in denial about their son's Autism, relying on their religion to address the situation. According to Scientology teachings, Jett has been given the status of "degraded" where the church says he can cure himself by working harder on the church's teachings. The Travoltas deny that Jett has Autism, claiming that their son's condition is Kawasaki syndrome, a disease characterized by high fever, skin rash and swelling of the lymph nodes.


If anyone watched CNN when the story first broke, it looked like to us the network went out of its way NOT to mention Scientology and these rumors.

Let's wait until the autopsy.
