No comment. Zo moeilijk?

Misschien is dit in samenspraak met John en Kelly gebeurd. Kweet het ook niet maar ik kan me er wel iets bij voorstellen na alle negatieve berichten over Scientology enzo.

Zoon Travolta overleden aan stoornis

NASSAU - Een stoornis die toevallen veroorzaakt is Jett Travolta fataal geworden. Dat staat op de overlijdensakte van de zoon van acteur John en actrice Kelly Preston, meldde de begrafenisondernemer op de Bahama's maandag nadat sectie was verricht op het lichaam van de zestienjarige jongen.

Jett Travolta overleed vrijdag plotseling op een van de eilanden, waar hij met zijn familie op vakantie was.
De tiener leed wekelijks aan zeer ernstige aanvallen, vertelden Travolta's advocaten de showbizzwebsite TMZ. Jarenlang gebruikte de jongen medicijnen, aldus de advocaten, maar de medicatie werd stopgezet omdat deze niet effectief bleek en bijwerkingen had.

De autoriteiten op de archipel wilden de doodsoorzaak niet bevestigen omdat geen sprake is van een misdrijf. Jetts lichaam is na de sectie weer overgedragen aan de ouders, aldus Amerikaanse media.

People: Death of John Travolta son's is blamed on seizure

Jett Travolta's body shows no sign of head trauma and his death certificate says he was killed by a "seizure," an undertaker said Monday, as the 16-year-old's celebrity parents prepared for a Florida funeral.
Glen Campbell, assistant director of the Bahamian funeral home handling the remains of John Travolta's son, told The Associated Press that the body is in "great condition," despite police officials who said the teen hit his head on a bathtub while having a seizure Friday at the family's vacation home on Grand Bahama Island.
Authorities didn't release results of an autopsy performed Monday, but Campbell saw the body and the death certificate, which was based on its findings. "The only cause of death that was listed was 'seizure,'" he said.
According to TMZ.com, the grand mal seizures Jett suffered were "frequent and extremely serious." Travolta's lawyers, Michael Ossi and Michael McDermott, told TMZ "each seizure was like a death," with Jett losing consciousness and convulsing. TMZ also reported, despite reports that Travolta didn't give Jett anti-seizure medication because of his Scientology beliefs, he was taking a drug called Depakote.
Jett had seizures on an average of every four days, until he started taking Depakote. Ossi and McDermott say the drug initially worked, reducing the frequency to about once every three weeks.

lost its effectiveness, according to Ossi and McDermott. They say the Travoltas were concerned about possible physical damage. Jett went back to having around one seizure a week. So Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, after consulting neurosurgeons, stopped administering the drug.
The family said Monday it would bury the teen near their home in Ocala, Fla. "We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief," Travolta and Preston said Sunday in a public statement. "We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives."
Travolta tried CPR to revive his son, who may have died in his arms before an emergency medical technician took over, Usmagazine.com reported, citing McDermott and Ossi.
Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, have said Jett became very sick when he was 2 and was diagnosed with Kawasaki syndrome, an illness that leads to inflamed blood vessels. The couple also has an 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.

Ach welnee en dit lijkt me het gebruikelijke scenario (wat anders roepen ouders logischerwijs in dit soort situaties?) en echt geen kwestie van lekken van het ambulancepersoneel. Dit kan iedereen wel bij elkaar bedenken.

Dan hadden ze er geen naam bij gezet, maar er een anonieme bron van gemaakt, lijkt mij.
Ach, whatever. Bottom line is dat dit zeer treurig is. En die foto die yvonne net heeft geplaatst, hartverscheurend.

John Travolta Acknowledges His Son's Autism

In a new development, reports are coming in revealing that official documents concerning the death of John Travolta's young son, Jett, confirm that the boy suffered from autism.

In fact, the report has John himself using the terminology, which is against the beliefs of Scientology.

Within the religion, there are rules concerning the practice of medicine, particularly ailments that are considered psychiatric diagnoses, such as autism. Scientoligists believe that diseases such as this are "fake" and rather than seeking medical treatment, practitioners are advised to stick to a Scientological detoxification regime.

There is no word yet if there will be a backlash against the actor for acknowledging his son's autism, but as a high-profile Scientoligist, it is bound to send a stir in the community.
