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.

152. Why should we need to hear about it? It's a private matter. Let it go. Respect their privacy.

153. #147 You are right ! I think, based on his condition, there needed to be a camera in the bathroom so he could be monitered and helped in case of a seizure such as this. Forget the helmet, you can't wear a helmet in the tub. Parents may have been sleeping, but his two nannies were supposed to be in charge of his safety and his health. Were they sleeping too?

154. I hope the autopsy is NEVER made public...I don't know the facts...their personal/family life is simply none of mine or anyone else's business. Sometimes bad things just happen...children get sick or hurt and sometimes they die...I am so sick of people trying to make a scandal out of everything, This is a tragedy and rather than try to prove the family did something wrong...why not just accept it for what it is and offer prayers and support...Treat people the way you would want to be treated.
Losing a child is losing the center of your world.

155. Some of you people are sick. You think you know it all. YOU have NO RIGHT to ANY INFORMAITON ABOUT THIS. Those of you who think you do should get alife of your on. And another thing, it is NOT your RIGHT to judge the way any parent deals with a childs illness. This family had their son treated appropriately whether you think so or not. Get over yourselves. Do you want your family information on the front pages? What if you were told you had to treat your child based on what the public said instead of what the doctors say is best? You should all go right to hell. It is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS and if you think it is you need serious help. Especially Number 3

156. I feel sorry for anyone that has lost a child &/or any family for that fact, but it must have been Jett's time to go or God wouldn't have took Jett!! It does not matter how many meds they gave or didn't give him or where it happened!! Because when it is anyone's time to go there is nothing we can do about it. Did you ever know that everyone has a beginning and an end no matter the cause or reason why!! When God calls you to rest what are you going to say wait a few more days?? We are not God so how do you suppose to stop life or reverse it!! Even if I decided to take someone's life or my own. I will answer to God for that!! But if God don't think it is your time you will still be here till God decides it is your time!! It isn't like the Devil created us the Devil just destroys us. The Devil will take over our life if we allow him to!! Did anyone even know what God's reason is for taking Jett?? No of coarse you don't!! Did you ever think that Jett was suffering, and God wanted to stop Jett's suffering?? Did you know God knew Jett's future and it was going to be alot worse!! No of coarse not!! I have kids of my own and one of them have alot of mental problems, and I also have lost loved ones I didn't want to lose, but it isn't like God asks if I wanted to prolong my family's suffering before God took them!! Because no one would want to give up their loved ones!! God just promises Peace and Love for them, and to know that God will take care of our loved ones. Just like God has gave some of us the chance to make life, but they are only ours for a little while!! Kinda like God loaned them to us to raise them to the best of our ability and to thank & praise him for them!! We have alot of different Medical proffesions and alot of technology and still even with life support our family still dies, and all that has been done has caused more suffering on that person and our family. That is why they ask what our family thinks. They don't just pull the plug!! I know for a fact that even on life support people die no matter what!! I won't tell the bad details of what a body looks like when they finally die while on life support!! If Jett had all the mental problems everyone is saying Jett had!! Then Jett was a child of God!! Just because he may not understand God's word doesn't mean Jett was a sinner. I'd rather have mental problems than to understand God's words and not praise and thank God, because then I am held responsible for knowing God's words and not trying to live for God! If you didn't know. One of the ten commandments is not to Judge others, and by questioning the Travolta's family you are Judging them!! If the Travolta family did do something to Jett they will get their day to answer for it. Just like if we did something to someone else we would get our day to answer for it also!! We Are Not The Judge Only God Is!! Also that is why I like the personal saying " Everything Happens For A Reason" no matter if we know today or never what that reason may have been!! So Leave It Alone, and let Jett rest in peace, and allow the Travolta family to mourn Jett the way the Travolta family wants to, and remember the Travolta family in your prayers!! Read your Bible and you to will understand what I said!!

God Bless Everyone including the Travolta Family !!

157. RE: Number 59:
What was going on for an hour and a half? Hmm.. let me guess? You have never been in the room when someone unexpectedly passes on, have ya? Well, I HAVE. They must decide whether there is any form of LIVING WILL (to establish if said deceased person has a DNR order (that is DO NOT resuscitate), then if they learn that they do not have one, they then do things like establish whether to start CPR. Assuming they do start (as was the case with Jett), that is not something that takes 2 minutes, and then you stop! It can go on for quite awhile (while I was in the room when my neighbor passed, they performed the CPR for at LEAST 15 full minutes before calling a time of death). From what I read (or believe), Jett was NOT pronounced dead in the home, but later. So therefore, they had to get this child en-route to a hospital (and you can not just stop performing the dang CPR to load someone up), that has to be continued, so you try getting a dead person on a gurney while doing CPR? It takes time! I can assure you, whatever they were DOING, it was NOT something FISHY. They were working on a young man, who for all intent and purpose, was DEAD. Use your brain there bud?

158. On number 73 GURLPOWA'S comment:

May I ask you something? How on EARTH do you know where the people posting negative comments LIVE? This is THE WORLD WIDE WEB : aka: CYBERSPACE? It is not an exclusive FOR AMERICANS ONLY SITE HERE YOU ARE VISITING AT TMZ!! You are in the UK you mention, and You are on this website, correct? It might just be my BLOODY MENTAL observation, but I do not see ANYONE'S country listed by (next to) their names? Not a ONE (including YOURS. Had you not said something about being from the UK, how on EARTH would I have known where the hell you were from?). Your comment makes ZERO SENSE. The negative comments could be coming from people located in the UK for all you freakin know?? If Americans are BLOODY MENTAL as you state, well then, people who sit and type comments like that and live in the UK , must be BLOODY IGNORANT and have some PRECONCEIVED NOTION of Americans , and have OBVIOUSLY PIGEON-HOLED them into a stereotype to start with, because unless you are like an ESP DIVA lady, there is NO WAY you know which country these negative comments posted originated from. You owe ME, and as far as I am concerned, EVERY AMERICAN who (as myself) posted NOTHING negative about the Travolta's and showed NOTHING OTHER THAN compassion and sympathy for that family at the loss of their son, a BIG FAT APOLOGY!!!! I could say what many American's believe of the English. That they are NARROW MINDED, JUDGEMENTAL ,COMPLETELY ARROGANT, AND FLAT OUT RUDE!!! YOUR comment would stand to back me up, if I did say such a thing back to you! However, I am NOT a person who passes judgment on an ENTIRE NATION, simply by the LAME ASS COMMENTS of a few of that country's citizens.
GHEZ...
