[align=center][b]John Travolta heartbroken at son's death[/b] [i]01/05/2009 | 08:44 AM[/i] -[u]GMANews.TV[/u]- [img]http://i39.tinypic.com/2qjvadw.jpg[/img] [quote]FREEPORT, Bahamas – John Travolta said Sunday he and his wife Kelly Preston are "heartbroken" over the death of their chronically ill 16-year-old son, who collapsed at the family's vacation home on Grand Bahama. Police Superintendent Basil Rahming has said a caretaker found Jett Travolta unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning and he was later pronounced dead at a Freeport hospital. The youth was last seen entering the bathroom on Thursday, according to Rahming's police statement. "We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives," Travolta and Preston said in their first public statement since Jett's death. "Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered," said a statement posted Sunday on Travolta's Web site. "We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future." Preston and Travolta have said that Jett became very sick when he was 2 years old and was diagnosed with Kawasaki Syndrome, an illness that leads to inflamed blood vessels in young children. Preston blamed household cleaners and fertilizers, and said that a detoxification program based on teachings from the Church of Scientology helped improve his health, according to People magazine. Others said Jett was prone to seizures. Michael McDermott, an attorney for the actor, said Sunday that although Jett was last seen Thursday and found the following day, he doesn't believe that the teen was in the bathroom for a substantial amount of time. "The police left the impression that the boy was unsupervised. No. There were two nannies with him for the entire evening," McDermott told The Associated Press. "They made it seem like he was sent to the condo and nobody checked in on him until the next morning." "(Jett) was spectacularly supervised," said McDermott, who said he has not had the chance to talk to the two nannies himself. McDermott said he had no knowledge of Jett's medical history but "understood he had a history of seizures." It is unclear whether Jett was taking medication for that. The Bahamas' health minister, Dr. Hubert Minnis, has said that a second, US-certified pathologist will fly in at dawn Monday to assist with the teenager's autopsy. "I have spoken to (Travolta) and informed him that the government is doing everything it can," Minnis said Sunday, adding he could not disclose further specifics about the autopsy. About a dozen security guards and Bahamian police officers patrolled Sunday around the luxury Old Bahama Bay resort community where Travolta and Preston remained inside their home. The white-sand beach in front of the suites was closed. The couple also have an 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu. Travolta, 54, is trying to finish funeral arrangements and hopes to fly his son's body to Florida by midweek, McDermott said. Travolta and Preston, 46, have a house in Ocala, Florida. The Church of Scientology, established in 1945 by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, has attracted numerous celebrity followers, and among its more famed members is Travolta, who has long been one of Hollywood's biggest names. - AP[/quote] More [spoiler][img]http://i40.tinypic.com/mjbcqo.jpg[/img] [i]John Travolta and son Jett arriving in Rome, Italy Photo: SPLASH [/i] -[u]telegraph.co.uk[/u]- Jett, 16, was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease 16 years ago, leading his parents to blame the chemicals in household cleaners and fertilisers. Travola, 54, and his wife, Kelly Preston, 46, put their son on a detoxification programme based on teachings from the Church of Scientology, but it is not clear if he was also given other medication. The star couple are both practising Scientologists along with other members of the Hollywood A list including Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes. Loretta Mackey, the police spokeswoman in Nassau, said Jett had hit his head while in the bath. He was discovered unconscious and taken to hospital, but was declared dead on arrival. The police said they were planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Travolta's attorney, Michael Ossi, said that the teenager's death "was completely out of the blue". He added: "This is the worst day of John's life." After an autopsy the body will be buried in Ocala, Florida, close to where the family lives. They had been staying in their property at the Old Bahama Bay resort community on Grand Bahama Island. Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, the property's owner, said: "The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them." Jett was the eldest child of the star of Grease, Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction and his wife, the actress Kelly Preston. The couple also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000. Travolta is a qualified pilot and has flown for the Australian airline Qantas when not fulfilling his Hollywood commitments. Such is his enthusiasm for aviation that he persuaded his wife to name their son Jett. Travolta, his wife Kelly, and Ella Blue were all due to star alongside Robin Williams in a new comedy, Old Dogs, this year. Unlike his sister, Jett had shown no enthusiasm for following his parents into acting and was interested more in the outdoors and physical pursuits. "As much as Ella loves showbusiness, he loves the outdoors – sports, swimming, cycling, hiking," the film star has said.[/spoiler] [/align] i feel sorry for them.. :cry:

His son named Jett was only 16. geez. so young. wakoko, he died because of seizure. i read same news on yahoo news before, wakoko. my condolences. =( btw, quick info about kawasaki disease.. [spoiler][quote][b]Kawasaki disease[/b] is an illness that involves the skin, mouth, and lymph nodes, and most often affects kids under age 5. The cause is unknown, but if the symptoms are recognized early, kids with Kawasaki disease can fully recover within a few days. Untreated, it can lead to serious complications that can affect the heart. Kawasaki disease occurs in 19 out of every 100,000 kids in the United States. It is most common among children of Japanese and Korean descent, but can affect all ethnic groups. Signs and Symptoms Kawasaki disease can't be prevented, but usually has telltale symptoms and signs that appear in phases. The first phase, which can last for up to 2 weeks, usually involves a persistent fever higher than 104° Fahrenheit (39° Celsius) and lasts for at least 5 days. Other symptoms that typically develop include: * severe redness in the eyes * a rash on the stomach, chest, and genitals * red, dry, cracked lips * swollen tongue with a white coating and big red bumps * sore, irritated throat * swollen palms of the hands and soles of the feet with a purple-red color * swollen lymph nodes During the second phase, which usually begins within 2 weeks of when the fever started, the skin on the hands and feet may begin to peel in large pieces. The child also may experience joint pain, diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. If your child shows any of these symptoms, call your doctor. http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/heart/kawasaki.html[/quote] [/spoiler]
