My heart and prayers go out to his family

I also was very sad to hear this. John Travolta and his family live very close to Ocala. They have supported our community in many events. My heart goes out to them. So sad..

Wow that is terrible, I don't even know what to say, I can't imagine

According to what I have read he had a history of seizures. I know what my family went through when my brother died so I really feel for the family. It is hard to lose a close family member.

yup thats pretty sad, live everyday as it were your last.

Ya i saw that on the news this morning. it is sad.

What a bad thing to have happen, specially during this season of joy and happiness....

the story that I read wasn't sure if he was on meds. he also had a medical condtion, Below is a bit of the article

Preston and Travolta have said that Jett became very sick when he was two years old and was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, an illness that leads to inflammation of the blood vessels in young children. She blamed household cleaners and fertilizers, and said that a detoxification program based on teachings from the Church of Scientology helped improve his health, according to People magazine. Both Travolta and Preston are practising Scientologists.

He had seizures problems, it makes me think more he shouldnt have been left alone ever but well...
