NASSAU, Bahamas - John Travolta’s teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas after falling ill and hitting his head at his family’s vacation home, police said Friday.
A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.
The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Another police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, said Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub.
A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport said she could not release any information because of privacy concerns.
Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community.
“The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them,” said Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, the property’s owner.

RIP
I remember various controversies with the Travoltas over this kid because they are into Scientology.
Well Kelly's already blamed his health and death on toxins you find in such items as household cleaners. I'm guessing we can expect them to go extra crazy with the Scientology now.

They just lost their son. They can go as "crazy" as they feel they need to. People grieve in their own ways.
My condolences to the Travolta family.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not bagging on them for the loss of their son or anything like that. I honestly feel for them and am in no way trying to make light of that. All I was saying was that they're trying to use Scientologist reasoning for the cause of the death, and this could push them even further into their religion. We might not see John in movies anymore.
Re: John Travolta’s 16-year-old son dies
They can grieve as much as possible. But they do need to reserve their feelings.
If Kelly starts naming products, I feel those companies have all the rights in the world to sue the Travolta's and possibly the Church for defamation.
