No father should ever outlive his child.

No parent should outlive their child.  It isn't fair.  But neither is the world we live in.

May his family find solace in their love for him.

+1 on parents outliving their children.

i have seen this firsthand. both of my grandmothers have outlived children (my mom and my uncle), and it is heartbreaking for them.

i imagine it is almost as bad to have the entire world talking about it...

Tragic yes, but nothing unusual.  Sadly, every day a parent's child dies.  The only thing special is that Jett's parents are famous

Here's reports of two others the same week:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28464229/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28464229/)

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/04/06/gaza.violence/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/04/06/gaza.violence/index.html)

On what message forum are their deaths lamented?  Is their passing not even more tragic, as those grieving families do not have millions of dollars and a massive support structure of friends, family, an entire industry and the well-wishing of thousands of strangers?

None of that stuff will be of any use to them through this.

Supposedly he suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome as a result of carpet cleaner....and was then not properly treated for it.

There's much more evidence linking Kawasaki's to a viral etiology than there is for the carpet cleaner theory, but it's not clearly defined either way.
