Apparently, Jett was autistic. However, Scientology doesn't acknowledge autism, so John Travolta always said that Jett had "kawasaki syndrome."

Also, the kid went to the bathroom Thursday evening (where he fell), but wasn't discovered until Friday morning. Which is strange.

Also, Anna Nicole's son died in the Bahamas, which is a weird coincidence.

I really love Sat. Night Fever, and my heart goes out to the Travolta family. May he rest in peace.

While my sympathies CERTAINLY go out to the Travolta family I can't help but think that the "Cult of Celebrity" in our Culture is out of control.

16 year old kids die everyday from Aids, Cancer, Poverty, Gang Violence, Drugs, War, etc. But they don't make the headlines.

So here's a prayer for every child and every Parent who loses a child to tragedy.

Travolta seems a bit less weird about his Scientology but not acknowledging his son's condition was a black mark on him. Anyhoo, RIP Jett.

That's how I feel about celebrity death in general. There are still people who mourn Monroe, JFK & John Lennon. Get over it already!

I guess that would be every man besides Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Manson......well, you know what I mean. Sometimes, with some people, it's not so easy to just "get over it".... Sad

I think it's got to do with what kind of a person you are, if your sentimental you'll always have fond memories of the people or celebrities that you grew up with, that had a big influence on you, & especially if they died way to young.
