John Travolta's Son Died

[Laker_Girl]

Sad. What do Scientologists do when someone dies? Is there a burial or memorial or what?

The Church takes it 10%, then you can bury the rest. :rimshot:

So sad. RIP.

ZOMG! A fake dead notice in the MF!

Wait, it's not fake. He did die. Well, he was 16 he probably deserved it. HAHAHAHHHEHEHEHHHOHOHO...

Yeah, I can't make it funny. I suggested someone move it.

John Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, died Friday morning at the family's vacation home in The Bahamas after what the family's lawyer says was a seizure-related incident.

The family, including Jett Travolta's mother, Kelly Preston, and his 8-year-old sister, Ella, had been celebrating the New Year in The Bahamas.

"A nanny attempted to revive him, all attempts were made, but he couldn't be revived," Travolta's attorney, Michael Ossi, who is also in The Bahamas, told ABCNews.com. "They tried as hard as they could to revive Jett."

Ossi added that the teenager "has had seizures in the past, but they were controlled. This one couldn't be."

The seizure may be only part of the story. Royal Bahamas Police Force spokeswoman Loretta Mackey told the Associated Press that Jett Travolta died from hitting his head in a bathtub.

Jett Travolta's health made national news in 2002. It was at this time that his mother disclosed that at age 2 he had had a poorly understood condition known as Kawasaki syndrome, a collection of symptoms that stem from swollen arteries.

Researchers believe that inflammation from Kawasaki syndrome, or KS, can lead to convulsions and seizures.

KS primarily affects children under the age of 5, though it can occur in older children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about nine out of 100,000 children have KS. Incidence is higher among Japanese and Korean children, though KS can occur among any ethnicity.

His son was a fatty. I thought, "Heart attack" but then I read the article.

Does this mean he will be stealing Nicholas Cage's son?

Or worse, he'll have to have sex with Kirstie Alley again.

I was just thinking, how are they going to comfort his sister, Ella Bleu? They can't say, "Oh, it's okay, he's in heaven with God now..." And such. Do they say, "Oh it's okay, he's with L. Ron Hubbard now..."???

Good question. Maybe they'll throw a recruiting convention at the next hotel I'm staying at while attending a PGA event. :S:

I don't think Scientologists stay at Motel 8's......

 

[Mentalist]

This story is tragic and I don't see any comedy in making bad jokes about it.

 

[curiousa2z]

Agreed. Who gives a shit what their personal beliefs are? - their son died - the worst thing that can happen for any parent. Grow the fuck up.

 

[whisky]

Sorry, just my way of shunting it away so I dont have to think about anything like that ever happening to me.

I use humour as a defence mechanism

 

[Tisiphone]

Like Miss Scarlet.

New reports are coming in that Jett Travolta died shortly after watching Wild Hogs.
