It seems that John Travolta and his family won’t be resting for a while. Especially with all the new reports coming out about them and the circumstances surrounding their son Jett Travolta‘s tragic passing.
As we all know by now, Jett’s death certificate cities ‘seizures’ as the cause of death. And that’s leading to a lot of experts to speak out as to the cause of the seizures.
An attorney for the Travoltas said Jett had a history of seizures, along with being treated when he was two for Kawasaki syndrome, a rare disease that can lead to cardiac problems.
Medical specialists state that it is highly unlikely that the disease had anything to do with his death.
Others have claimed that Jett was really suffering from Autism, which the Travolta family has denied. Others claim Jett was suffering from Epilepsy.
Dr. Bruce Cohen, a staff neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic, said “Sudden death in epilepsy is not an unheard-of phenomenon.”
And in rare cases he said about one in 1,000 epileptics die each year from a condition known as “sudep,” which is a sudden and unexplained death that typically occurs with no sign of a seizure.
Though some aren’t even sure if the autopsy officials in the Bahamas even know of that term. Dr. Cohen adds, “We’re dealing with a massive lack of information.”
Even Scientologists are having to defend their cult “religion” as to avoid anymore negative press about them not allowing medication and such.
Tommy Davis, a spokesman for the Church of Scientology International in Los Angeles, says “The bottom line is that Scientologists seek conventional medical treatment for medical conditions.”
Another church spokesman said “Scientology is a religion. We deal with the spirit, and mental and spiritual factors that affect someone’s happiness and well-being.”
