NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Police in the Bahamas say John Travolta's
teenage son has died after injuring himself at the actor's vacation
home.
Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey says 16-year-old Jett Travolta
hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning. She said he was declared
dead at Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island.
Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress
Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter.
A spokeswoman for the hospital in Freeport said she could not
release any information because of privacy concerns.

the illness doesnt cause seizures per se, but it lowers the threshold during the acute phease and they might actually have an observed seizure, and be placed on precautions for it. he may not have had a seizure in years. i dont immediatly recall what the causitive agent is for kawasaki’s disease but i belive its nutritionaly or vitiman deficieny that causes it. cause unknown per peds site. also causes heart prolems which could have led to his falling in the tub. there could have been a lot of reasons besides scientology to taper his seizure med if indeed he was off of it. not enough information to make these kinds of statements or suppostions about the travolta’s and scientology. a very very sad story. good luck mr travolta and family. and thats a great areal shot of your house in ocala with the 707 in the driveway.

Well, MobileGuy48….I think you get it from being the child of someone famous. A week before Jett died, one of the guys in Backstreet Boys (or was it N’Sync?) had his kid diagnosed with it too.

Do people get Kawasaki disease from riding dirtbikes?

I don’t think Kawasaki disease causes seizures.  I also do not think anyone knows if the kid was taking medicine or being denied such.

If they would have given him his MEDICINE it would have never happened. This boy died of neglect! There’s no reason to feel sorry for them! They murdered him with their crazy religion!

its just plain old sad, tragedy strikes everywhere and anyone. especially tragic around the holidays.

Scientology killed this boy.
They weren’t giving him his seizure medication for his Kawasaki disease
The Travoltas should be charged with criminally negligent homicide.

That’s terrible!  I think he had an illness that caused seizures.

Hit his head on a bathtub, and died?
