John Travolta’s son Jett passed away today after suffering a seizure at a vacation home in the Bahamas. Authorities say Jett struck his head on the bathtub and died on the scene after attempts to revive him failed. TMZ reports:
We’re told 16-year-old Jett was vacationing with Travolta and wife Kelly Preston.
There have been reports that Jett was autistic, though Travolta has denied it, saying he suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.
Travolta’s attorney Michael Ossi says Jett suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful and he died on scene.
Wow, that’s horrifically sad and especially right after the holidays. My sincerest condolences to the Travolta family and Jett’s loved ones.

FAKE!
This is just like that scene in Never Back Down where John Travolta was posing as a hip and cool street dancer to infiltrate a rouge gang of break dancing terrorist but only ended up becoming part of the very group he was meant to take down after a nasty slip in the tub gave him amnesia. Luckily, Sam Jackson showed up before Travolta was sent out on his suicide mission to stop the Antichrist as potrayed by Barack Obama.

No amount of money or fame could buffer someone from the loss of their child.
Let this be the year that it becomes sport to hunt paparazi.
I’m so fucking serious.
Bella | January 2, 2009 at 5:42 pm
im shocked…..so very sad for this to happen to anyone to lose a child.

Very sad news.

Good call on laying off on this one. My deepest sympathies go out to the family.

Maybe Scientology can cure him!

No father should ever bury his own son. My sincerest condolences to the Travolta family.
Buzzkillington | January 2, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Jett deserved to die and I shat down his throat and stuck my dick in his eye.
U guys are nipplefags.
jesus | January 2, 2009 at 6:17 pm
look at that fat pig, and at his age. butt ugly like his dad also!!!!
niptuck | January 2, 2009 at 6:17 pm
nipplefags?
Buzzkillington | January 2, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Nipplefags. That mean u like nipples and also u is fags.
Also he was too fat and ugly to live. Only pretty people r good. And people that smart like me.
woodhorse | January 2, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I am suitably impressed that they had him on vacation with them and not locked in their basement. My condolences to them as even they must be reflecting on the sadness of that child’s life.
Obama | January 2, 2009 at 6:33 pm
I laughed when I read Kawasaki syndrome.
jokester | January 2, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Wow I can always count on tasteless and infantile comments from the members here. You didn’t disappoint. On a different note, this story is all kinds of shady. Scientologists are fucking scary people. John never admitted that his son was autistic and was ultimately embarrassed by him and now he’s dead.
CJ | January 2, 2009 at 6:47 pm
So sad. Thoughts with the family.
MBResident | January 2, 2009 at 6:52 pm
I can’t believe the vile comments that get posted. If you don’t have a heart, and don’t care, then why even post on something tragic like this. I’m just glad that the family will hopefully be shielded from garbage like some of you spew. There is nothing funny about losing a child, and fame and fortune can’t keep it from happening, nor take the pain away.
Buzzkillington | January 2, 2009 at 6:52 pm
jokester- I stuck my dick in your mom’s infantile comments
Buzzkillington | January 2, 2009 at 6:54 pm
MBResident- there’s nothing funny about losing a child unless he’s a fat fuck

Anyone posting after This Poster sucks on John Travolta’s Greasy penis and swallows the lubricants from his pipe.
Sarah Silverman | January 2, 2009 at 6:59 pm
I’m fucking Jett Travolta!!!
I’m so SHOCKING that it’s funny!!!
IbePiglet | January 2, 2009 at 7:11 pm
You have to wonder about some people’s mothers when they post some of the crap above.
That aside, I don’t get the “Kawasaki Syndrome” claim. That syndrome has no symptomology that resembles autism. As for the fat and ugly statements, well, again, apparently you people were not raised by a human being.
Mike | January 2, 2009 at 7:33 pm
What is really crazy, is that scientology didn’t do either of two things:
1) Predict said event
2) Stop it from happening
LandingGear | January 2, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Too bad. I hope my kids live a long and happy life. This is horrible news. Travola has a home in our area, glad it didn’t happen here.
sunshine625 | January 2, 2009 at 7:35 pm
For years it pissed me off how John Travolta denied Jett had autism because Scientologists haven’t accepted autism as a disease and now Jett is gone…how sad….my heart goes out to the family. RIP Jett.
kelly | January 2, 2009 at 7:38 pm
that’s pretty fucked up to say all that mean shit about his son. yeah, john travolta is a shitty actor. but this kid just died, have some respect. otherwise karma will smack you in the face with it’s fat, meaty cock .. then we’ll see who’s laughing. faggots
Mike | January 2, 2009 at 7:38 pm
On a side note, why is it that a ‘caretaker’ discovered Jett’s body? I thought that mere mortals weren’t allowed to associate with those of the ‘pure’ as to not contaminate them.
I ask, what were John and Kelly doing at 10AM to require a ‘caretaker’. Hmm.
Danklin24 | January 2, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I just love the sum sucking douche nozzles that come in here and say he deserved it. You must really feel like men saying something so callus and cold behind the anonymity of your fucking computer. Pussies.
Danklin24 | January 2, 2009 at 7:44 pm
To the people that think Travolta is a terrible actor, i’d like to know who you think is a good actor.
kellycasselman | January 2, 2009 at 7:57 pm
It’s so sad that people are so jealous they have to demean those with more than them. I am saddened by the loss of this family. As a parent, I cannot even imagine burying one of my children, that’s not the way it’s supposed to be. My hear and my prayers go out to the entire family.
As for those of you who say he is not a good actor…….what films have you been watching? Face Off, Basic, Pulp Fiction, The General’s Daughter, Swordfish, and the list goes on! What amazing movies! Not to mention Kelly Preston’s movies too! Talented people who are sure to be hurting, no matter what their religion.
You are in my prayers as are those of you who are bitter and disgusting enough to post filth and hate on this site.
Mike | January 2, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Should be ‘nozzle’ from what I read, but there was another worried about their property value dropping below the already ghastly low that it is, so maybe that is two. Most here are going to be mocking the parents, the kid is a victim here, and was for the past sixteen years..

somethings strange here | January 2, 2009 at 8:09 pm
The child went to the bathroom and was discovered at 10 the next day by a caretaker, this was an autistic kid with seizures, where were the so called loving parents, if this was joe bloggs in bohickey town ACS would have been involved, this kid should have been on medication to control the seizures but john was as in deep denial about his condition as he is about his own sexuality witness the pics of the deepthroating on the steps of the plane, he lied about the kids medical condition for years, its like these stars either refuse to admit that they have ‘imperfect’ children or else blame the childs condition on something else entirely, its a tragedy but maybe it could have been prevented, scientology has a lot to answer for
kellycasselman | January 2, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I will say this, however, I am saddened that John and Kelly won’t admit to the Autism though. I researched Kawasaki Syndrome and it happens to most chilren between the ages of 2 – 5 and in it’s 3rd stage the symptoms go away. This is not a progressive disease and it is treatable. Also, most of the children who get it are Korean or Japanese.
Why doesn’t Scientology aknowledge Autism as a disease? I don’t get that one.
twzzlrgirl | January 2, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Heartless, disgusting comments aside, I’m confused by any religion that would prefer to see a child suffer than admit a problem and treat it. What kind of god or deity or whatever would give us the knowledge to remedy a situation, but ask that we turn a blind eye? I would never be a part of anything that would deny care to my child…never.
And I, too, am confused how a child could be in a bathroom long enough that a caretaker would find them dead the next morning. If he was autistic and had seizures, wouldn’t you keep an eye on him? Where was everyone? And, no…Kawaskaki’s disease does not pose any long term problems other than possible heart ailments — and then only if it is left untreated.
Balack Obama | January 2, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Well, at least they will be able to use him as a write off on their 2009 taxes as well.. they will need it with Balack Pajama in the White House.
twzzlrgirl | January 2, 2009 at 8:22 pm
#42 — Scientology does not recognize any disease for which there is not a proof-positive test. Autism cannot be diagnosed by x-ray or blood test, etc., so it “doesn’t exist.” It’s like when Tom Cruise denied the existence of postpartum depression.
Jackasses.

I’ll bet if they had let Dr. Freeman work his magic he’d still be here, just like Caroline Kennedy.
missywissy | January 2, 2009 at 8:31 pm
I didn’t know kids could die of Autism or that Autism caused seizures??????
All I got to say is shit happens. I mean, he could had been a healthy kid, and son of a Baptist, and died in a motorcycle accident. Although, if he died of something his parents were in denial of, that sucks for the whole family including the deceased.
These punk bastards on this blog berating Jett Travolta and John Travolta…. these idiots need to get lost. I wish there was a way to track these fools and some group would swoop in these’s kid’s parent’s homes, kidnap them and drop them over the ocean with cement weights tied to their feet. I can’t believe the shit I’m reading in here.
Also, John Travolta’s acting has absolutely nothing to do with his loss. Fuck all of you who have no life.
woodhorse | January 2, 2009 at 8:33 pm
@35 check out the links from Fox news. The “caretaker” is the self-same person photographed kissing John Travolta on the airplane. Caretaker is as good as a word as any for knob gobbler in polite company.
woodhorse | January 2, 2009 at 8:44 pm
TRAVOLTA WITH MAN WHO FOUND SON
(photo won’t paste)
Jeff Michael Kathrein is the man who police say found the body of Jett Travolta. Jeff is the caretaker of the Old Bahama Bay condo owned by John Travolta and is seen here in this 2006 photo kissing his boss in Canada.
