Now comes word via TMZ that Jett Travolta's autopsy results will probably not be released by the Travolta family.

According to the Bahamian Minister of Health, Dr. Hubert Minnis, Anna Nicole Smith's former obstetrician (anyone hearing alarms going off?) has decided to use a second specialist to guarantee a good assessment of what might have caused Jett's death. (BTW, Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel died while visiting her Bahamas hospital room and she's buried next to him on the island.)

As far as Jett's autopsy being released to the public, it's totally up to the family. They are the only ones with the authority to release the results.

Of course, speculation is running rampant in the blogosphere over the sad, sad news of Jett's untimely death. I spoke off the record with a Hollywood industry insider who has known John Travolta for more than a decade. She told me that John's son Jett weighed about 250 pounds and stood around 6 feet 2 inches tall.

So, my question: Wouldn't a fall by a person of this size be loud enough to hear inside the house instantly? (Even if the other people - nannies, etc -  were sleeping.)

Also, this Travolta friend I spoke with has never ever heard John use the the word "Kawasaki" to describe Jett's condition.

For God's sake, why don't you just leave this family alone and quit trying to twist this tragedy into something sinister. Just because he was a large person doesn't mean he fell over like a tree with enough force to be heard all over the house. Perhaps he "collapsed", or even tried to sit if he felt a seizure coming on. You people and your negative theorizing are disgusting.


It has been well known for years that Jet had Kawasaki's. It was covered on Larry King several years ago.

Do your homework, just because you're a blogger doesn't allow you to be sloppy. ;-)


You missed out on the last developments. We now know Jett Travolta was taking a drug called Depakote, a strong anti-seizure medication. There have been reports Travolta refused to give his son anti-seizure meds because of Scientology but those stories are not true.

Further the death cert said "seizure" as the cause of death.

And lastly, here is what the scientologists have to say:

Didn't Anna Nicole Smith die in a hotel room in the Seminole Hard Rock Casino (Florida)?


Dear Sir:

Please do not be so inconsiderate in times of tragedy. Epilepsy is not a joke or something to blame anyone for. Your question is stupid. You have obviously never lived with someone with this condition.

I suggest you contribute some money to the American Epilepsy Association.

My condolences to the Trravolta family. They are in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Travolta Family. There is nothing anyone can say to stop the pain. I understand that they are a family in the public eye, but we should leave them to mourn their loss as any family should be able to.


Media and internet tabloids should leave John Travolta alone.He and his family already suffered enough.Some people try to demonize Travolta and his wife.It's cruel and brutal.Bereaved parents don't deserve that.


This is a tragic loss for the Travolta family. My heart goes out to them. They are living a nightmare right now, yet they are a part of our families, too. It hurts all of us. I hope that when things settle that the family may be kind enough to share what happened to the son they loved so much and that they will be advocates for those with epilepsy.


I suspect he drowned in the bathtub after suffering an epileptic seizure.


I think it is very sad that anyone would believe a parent would deny a child proper treatment for any kind of illness, these parents from what I have read loved this boy beyond anyone could imagine and would have done anything to help him live a healthy life. If you really want to be angry and make harsh judgment on someone you should direct it towards someone who is deserving of it,Cassie Anthony! Leave the Travolta family alone!!
