His son did not die of "seizures". You can't die of the seizure itself. His son died because of something that happened during or after the seizure. He did not die of the seizure itself. The media should get their stories straight before reporting this stuff.

You are right. My granddaughter died from drowning in her vomit, during cancer treatment. She had a seizure. My neices husband died from drowning the same way during a seizure.
Actually you are wrong, my son has seizure disorder. He had a seizure last year so bad that by the time we got him to the hospital he had to be resuscitated. He wasn’t breathing, he didn’t choke and he wasn’t suffocating.
No matter how much we like John Travolta and his wife Kelly they must be held accountable for the death of their son.
Practicing "Voodoo" is no excuse for preventing the application of modern medicine to save or maintain a life.
If we allow their fame to diminish their parental and legal responsibilities, then the justice system fails.
A full and impartial investigation is the only recourse. Their son's death should be a lesson to us all that some religions can harm and kill.
