Travolta Death Cert Lists Seizure

Posted Jan 5th 2009 4:53PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: 9:29 ET Dr. Hubert Minnis, Minister of Health in the Bahamas, told Larry King Jett's body was cremated today.

UPDATE 5:52 ET -- The assistant director of the funeral home told TMZ the pathologists who performed the autopsy concluded Jett Travolta died from a seizure.

Jett Travolta's death certificate lists "seizure" as the cause of death.

No word on the coroner's findings, at least not yet.

The funeral home says "The body was in great condition and shows no sign of head trauma," despite police and family who say the boy hit his head either on the toilet seat, bathtub or both.

The body is currently en route to the airport to be flown back to Florida.

Story developing ...

61. TMZ, post whatever you like as often as you like. It's your website. If somebody doesn't like you the WWW is big ass place, they can go somewhere else. It's easy to do. Just like changing the station on a tv, turning a light on or off, breathing just for a few examples.

63. #53--there is no known cause for Autism. Two of my family members are autistic. So unless you know something the rest of the medical community doesn't, then don't spout off about autism like you're an expert.

66. Where has it been stated that the Travoltas stopped all medication other then Depakote? From what I've read they stopped it because it wasn't working but I haven't seen where it says they didn't try another protocol. Perhaps jett was on another type of medication. Does anyone know or is it just random speculation?

69. He was such a happy looking child. You can definitely see both his parents in him. RIP Jett.

70. Scientologists should ALL have their kids taken away for deprogramming and to protect them from retards who believe in Xenu and volcanos that spew souls.

71. I just read #70s post on another thread. Pretty pathetic. Somebody on the other thread said it exactly that a child must be home from school. At least someone with the IQ of a grade schooler to post something so asinine.

72. Gosh, I guess everyone has an opinion.But why does everyone on here call each other moron and idiot if they don't agree with you? Also, everyone is judgemental.Even by saying "stop being judgemental" YOU are also being judgemental.It is human nature.

73. #65 point made, your are wrong about cause of autism 90% of autism is paternal genetic defects ask any doctor..but you are probably not smart enough & have genetic defects..
the point is no one should be embarresde by a disorder, the Travoltas refuse to admit their son had severe autism,,mental rertardation is also common in families with autism..
also a history of illegal drug use has also been connected , aslo environmental toxins clearly are not healthy

74. Why is it when a Christian child dies it's Gods will but when a non Christian dies it's neglect or criminal?

75. I have a child who takes medication for seizures,....if not for them, he would be dead. I'm so afraid that Scientology had something to do with Kelly taking Jett off his meds,....she said it had side effects,.....my question is, how long did you wait, so that his system would adjust? A good doctor would have never taken that child off of seizure meds,.....therefore the parents probably made that decision. How very sad,.......by the way Kawasaki syndrome is treated with, usually, aspirin. It causes a fever, so therefore, take aspirin.
