Doctors say that the childhood illness that Oscar-winning Hollywood star John Travolta’s son Jett had been suffering from, scientifically called Kawasaki disease, could not be blamed for his death because it was unlikely to cause the boy’s reported seizure.

"Seizures are not part of Kawasaki disease," the New York Daily News quoted Dr. Stanford Shulman, a specialist in the disease at Northwestern University''''''''''''''''s Feinberg School of Medicine, as saying.

"If a teenager had a seizure and died, that would not commonly be due to Kawasaki disease," the expert added.

Pritikin, who had bought Hitler’s globe in 2007 for 100,000 dollars, decided to take legal action after he saw a copied version of the globe in Cruise’s movie.
