I just saw on the news that John Travolta's teenaged son died of a siezure, which he had a history of. Whatever one might think of Mr. Travolta as an actor, or a (non-intrusive) Scientologist, or anything else, nobody should ever have to witness the death of an offspring.
I happen to like his acting, and admire him as a man, but that's beside the point.
I want to take this opportunity to express my condolences to the family.

Thats too bad. Looking from his medical history online, he was suffering from siezure as frequent as once every four days. He seems to have had quite a lot of serious medical problems since age 2.
