Jett Travolta Autopsy May Never Be Public

Jett TravoltaThe Ministry of Health in the Bahamas tells TMZ the autopsy findings in the death of John Travolta's son may never be public.

Dr. Hubert Minnis says a pathologist at Rand Memorial Hospital (where Jett Travolta was pronounced dead) is currently performing the autopsy, which should take several hours. Dr. Minnis says he personally decided, because of the high profile nature of the case, to bring in a second pathologist from Nassau, Dr. Karen Sands. Dr. Minnis made a point to us that Dr. Sands is an American.

The doctor says once the pathologists complete a preliminary report, it's forwarded on to a coroner. The coroner then forwards the completed report to the Travolta/Preston family. Dr. Minnis says only the family has authority to release the findings to the public. No word if that will happen.

139. I do not believe the public has a right to every detail of anyone's autopsy; however, living in the Bahamas for a while in years past in contact with the medical world there, I do know that if you are someone important or wealthy you pretty much own the right to have a death certificate state anything. I think it's odd that the EMT and others said he showed a subdurul hematoma and yet the C.O.D was listed as seizure. I also think it's odd that the autopsy results of Daniel (Anna Nicole's son) were released to the public by the same Examiner with a total disregard for privacy issues there. What exactly is the difference?

140. And why does the public have the right to know? Why? What do they owe any of us? Absolutely NOTHING people. Their jobs are to entertain us, they don't write OUR paychecks, pay our bills, or set our CURFEWS (which applies to probably half the people blogging about them). THEY owe us nothing. We on the other hand, do owe them human compassion--which each of us owe each other. Until YOU get it, YOU will never know. That is the saddest part of all. Pitiful.

142. All lot of people seem baffled why so many others are attacking Scientology. Check out this link to the Scientology "museum" in Los Angeles. It's called "Psychiatry: Industry of Death". In this museum, Scientologists blame the Holocaust on psychiatrists!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry_and_Industry_of_Death_Museum

Excuse me? Just about all the psychiatrists in the 1930s and 1940s like Freud were Jews who would have been killed if they had not left Germany. Hitler hated and ridiculed Freud and psychiatry. These are simply vicious lies--what other religion would do something like this? Now when you see mean spirited posts attacking Scientology, you can understate why people attack them so--because they have viciously attack the things they disagree with.

However, I think both sides can agree that the world lost a beautiful child when Jett died, and the love of the Travolta family for him is obvious for all to see.

144. JETT was MURDERED! Only Celebrity money caries more weight in Bahamas than in USA. And, anyone to say that child didn't leave a neglected life under guize of scientology has their head in the sand. Sad story,

145. I do not believe it is anyone's business what his son died from or how his son died. This is such a tragedy, why do people feel they have the right to dig into their private lives? People are so cruel, they are always looking for something mean to say. The rumors that are already spreading are just sick. Anyone could see the love that both John and Kelly had for their son. When I saw one of the pictures of him holding John's head while John leaned on Jett's shoulder brought tears to my eyes. When they were looking into each other's faces, you could just feel the love radiant off the photw, he loved that child. I have a child with a seizure disorder and it is frightening to watch your child go through this and not be able to stop them, you feel helpless and you hope against all hope they know that you want to make them stop, but it is not in your power. I am just a regular person, and I see the comments and attitudes toward people when my son has a seizure or they know about his disorder, they are so noisy and always adding their opinion on things. PEOPLE, WHEN YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS, PLEASE DO NOT VOICE YOUR OPINION. I pray for the Travolta's, this is something that will stay with them forever. I only hope it does not tear them apart, that they remain strong for one another, they are both in such pain. But, most of all, I hope they realize that they gave and did all they could for Jett and never second guess themselves. God Bless you John, Kelly, and Ella, you are in my prayers and thoughts. The angels are now taking care of your precious young son, and he is now seizure free.

146. This is so typical of the Scienctologist. Keep their business quite. however, it should be or actually needs to be said that the boys treatment was probably not consistent with AMA procedures and more likley consistent with Scientology.....

This boy should not have died!

147. For everyone who says that the results of the autopsy should be made public. If you were in their shoes, would you want the autopsy results of your child made public to the world? That's the problem with our society. Everyone feels they have a right to know everything that happens in the lives of every single person in the US. Not true. We all have the right to privacy and regardless of the jobs that his parents have, they still have a right to privacy. As to scientology, who cares what the beliefs of his family are. Once again, people are trying to shove their own beliefs upon someone else and tell them they're wrong by saying that hopefully this "will bring them back to God". That shouldn't matter. What should matter is this: The Travolta's have lost their son and are grieving his loss. That should be respected and people should leave them alone and not try to pry information out of them or anyone else. Give them the room to breathe and mourn their son. The same as you would want others to do for you.

148. TO Victoria: If I give you my email address, would you please send me a copy of your medical records? I want every medical record you have. After all, the public has a right to know!!!! You are no different than Jett.

149. I'm surprised at all the comments talking about things they don't even know about nor have any knowledge of...

. #1, Everyone is quick to say; make the autopsy results public, if this child was , average joe's child there would be no interest in the autopsy results. It's still a medical record and protected only the ME's cause of death that will be listed on the Death Certificate has the right to be made known.

#2. People commenting about whether his parents gave him meds or not, The parents they are..... I'm sure he may have had him on some type of meds or perhaps not.... Jett had Kawasaki syndrome where their systems are highly sensitive to anything....this is the same child that almost died as a toddler due to hyper-sensitivity to carpet cleaning CHEMICALS. And let's not forget Prescriptions are compounds of substances & wait for it....CHEMICALS

#3. someone that suggested they are unfit parents due to, John being a B list actor, and Kelly being a D list actress, what the HELL does that have to do with anything??? Moron

#4. and my personal favorite, someone here griped that they were wrong not to have a helmet on Jett......hello he was in the bathroom not skateboarding nor riding a bike and here's a NEWSFLASH, kids on seizure medication can still haver a Seizure ....JUST ASK ANY PARENT OF AN EPILEPTIC.....you incompetant "ARSE" LOL


Now all we can do is sympathize with the Travolta family in the loss of their child and extend our condolences it's what decent people do. And as the good book says, he who is WITHOUT sin; cast the first stone.....I don't see any stones a flyin....
