This is so sad:
John Travolta and Kelly Preston's teenage son Jett has died.
The 16 year old passed away in the Bahamas on Friday, according to TMZ.com.
Jett Travolta suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, according to family attorney Michael Ossi. He died at the scene.
Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest of Travolta's two children. The actor and his wife also have a daughter, called Ella.

Just heard on the news that he had a seizure and hit his head on the bathtub.

[quote=""Leyland""]That is so sad. I imagine the poor parents will feel as though they didn't protect him enough or take good enough care of him given his history of seizures - they'll be going through hell for a while I'd think.[/quote]
Yes, I was thinking that. It's against their religion to give anti-seizure meds, and because of that their son dies, that's going to be on their heads forever. I like John and Kelly but their religion is messed up in my opinion.

[quote=""pat""]This is sad. To loose a child is sad whatever your beliefs. However, I do feel that it cant all be blamed on meds, as knowing people who have/had seizures the meds dont always work.[/quote]
I have a brother with a seizure disorder and Pat is right, the meds don't always work.
From what I can tell Scientology isn't quite as wacked out as people think. I don't have hard evidence on this, but the rumors can't all be true.
Terribly sad for John, Kelly, and little Ella.

On the Today show this morning they were talking about how Scientolgists think it is OK to take medication for physical medical conditions but not for psychological conditions. There was a statement that Jett had been taking some meds and then they differentiated Scientology from other religions that prohibit all medications. The whole thing is very sad indeed.
