John Travolta credits Scientology with helping him through son Jett's tragic death in 2009
Travolta said Jett's death was "the worst thing that's ever happened" to him and that "he didn't know if he was going to make it."
John Travolta has credited his belief in Scientology with helping him get through what he described as the "worst thing that's ever happened" to his life — the tragic passing of his 16-year-old son Jett in 2009.
Jett, who Travolta confirmed was autistic, reportedly suffered from Kawasaki disease — in which the blood vessels throughout the body become inflamed — at the age of two and also had a history of suffering from seizures. The latter would prove fatal while the family was in the Bahamas on a Christmas vacation.
