Travolta Death Cert Lists Seizure

256. hey, "Avowed Atheist"how about practicing a little of what you preach? Pontificating about judgmental "stupid" religious people then being judgmental and stupid yourself just goes to show you in a poor light.

258. Peach, I have not seen any obscene or violent remarks. What are you even talking about? And even if there are comments you do not like, suggesting they be "censured" (I think you mean censored, different word and meaning, and use) is pretty stupid considering most people's appreciation for free speech, especially when it is THEIR free speech and opinions. I see a lot of people shocked,dismayed, saddened and angry that it seems this boy could have lived and lived a long and good life. People are going to ask questions because this whole situation is crazy. Was Jett autistic? Was he denied medicines, treatments, therapies, proper care because of his parents' "religion"? Did their "church" really have a history of killing, removing, isolating others before? Was this "church" responsible for their denial of his possible autism and their apparent shame? did the church really refer to him as "degraded" because of his special needs, whatever they may be? Do they all believe pschiatry and therapy and mental health professionals are evil and need to be banished from the earth like Tom Crusie says? was Jett really last seen going into the bathroom the day BEFORE he was fond in the same bathroomn the NExt DAY? Did he or did he not have a blow to the head? The Travoltas have said that after they took him off the alledged medication he was alledgedly on, he had a serious seizure at least once a week. If that is so, and they admitted it was, why was he left to die in that bathroom over night with no one checking on him? THAT WOULD BE ASKED BY LAW ENFORCMENT IF IT WERE YOUR KID OR MINE WHO DIED. Since the parents don't seem concerned, millions of others are and we ask questions.

260. Innocent, I've seen nothing objectionable but several posters seem to think reading about the death & having questions is abnormal. Thus, my comments.

261. How can a mother cremate her only son who died so young? Doesn't she want to have the comfort of visiting him at the cemetary, placing some flowers and saying a prayer? How cold could parents cremate their baby that fast. What was the frickin hurry?

263. Despite claims that have been made to the contrary, Scientology opposes the use of any psychiatric medications, including the Depakote that Jett used to control his seizures.

I extend my condolences to Scientologists John Travolta and Kelly Preston after the untimely death of their son, Jett. It is my sincerest hope that they did everything they could for the well-being of their son.

In doing so, however, they would be acting against the Dianetics practices of the Church of Scientology [2], which states that any mind-altering drugs "maim and destroy people [3]," and are thus strictly forbidden for use by any Scientologist. Depakote in particular is described as a harmful drug by the "Citizens Commission on Human Rights," a Scientology front group that opposes Psychiatry. [4]

Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures, such as those reportedly experienced by Jett Travolta. Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard alleged in a 1972 lecture that epilepsy can be cured through a Scientology ritual called auditing, and that they will need to stop taking any epileptic drugs before going through the process. Hubbard referred to epilepsy related terms as "gobbledygook". [5]

John Travolta and his brother Joey Travolta reportedly clashed over Jett's diagnosis. According to UK newspaper, The Mirror, Joey believed "it was so obvious Jett was autistic just from spending five minutes with him, but the cruel fact of their religion meant his parents simply did not accept it." [6]

People magazine reported that Travolta family friend and actress Anne Archer said "I observed that he was significantly mentally handicapped. ... John always communicated to him as if Jett could completely understand him. ... It was a kind of sweet exchange, where he was just happy with anything that Jett offered. Anything." [7] Additionally, video of Jett taken in France in 2007 showed Jett exhibiting autistic symptoms. [8] Autism is not accepted within Scientology, which classes people with neuropsychiatric disorders as "degraded beings". [1]

The Travoltas have stated that they put Jett through the "Purification Rundown", a controversial Scientology program that involves administering dangerous doses of niacin, which has been found to cause liver damage. [9] The Purification Rundown is the same program that is used in Narconon and Second Chance, other Scientology front groups. Recently a Second Chance center in Albuquerque, NM was shut down because it was housing inmates charged with violent crimes, in violation of its lease. [10]

The circumstances of Jett Travolta's tragic death should only be discussed with the utmost respect for the family and for the facts, unlike the manner in which the CCHR and celebrity Scientologists have treated the grief-stricken in the past

264. For those people that feel pity for the travoltas, and keep blaming TMZ for things that is already in the news, and I got to give it to TMZ if they are not giving up. The Travoltas were neglectful parents. Just because you are a movie star, doesn't make you any diffrerent from any neglectful parent out there. read this article and see why people are enraged

Celebrity do get away with alot of things, that people that aren't in celebrity status get caught for and punished harder.
