John Travolta’s 16-year-old son, Jett, died last week on Friday after he had suffered a seizure and fell on the bathroom floor. An autopsy for the boy was scheduled on Monday, when two pathologists checked for Jett’s exact cause of death. An official from the Bahamian funeral home stated that the boy’s death certificate shows he was killed by the seizure and not by the wound at his head.

The assistant director of the funeral home, who takes care of Jett’s remains, said that the 16-year-old showed no head trauma. At first, the police suspected the fact that the boy might have died because he had hit his head on the bathtub.

Yet, the results of yesterday’s autopsy were not released by the authorities.

Jett was in vacation with his parents and his 8-year-old sister in the Old Bahama Bay resort on Grand Bahama Island. After a caretaker of the house found him unconscious in a bathroom, the boy was quickly taken by ambulance to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport and was pronounced dead at the arrival. Apparently, his father and the paramedics tried so hard to resuscitate him, but had no success.

The autopsy was asked by John Travolta and Kelly Preston and it was done at around noon with paperwork finished two hours later, according to Obie Wilchcombe, a member of parliament for western Grand Bahama.

The boy’s body was taken from Rand Memorial Hospital to Restview Funeral Home in Freeport. From there, he will be transferred to the United States. As Wilchcombe said, the preparation for the body to be transferred will last about 12 or 13 hours.

Preston and Travolta issued a statement on Sunday saying that Jett “was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for.” They added that he used to lit everyone’s life in the family and that they will remain “heartbroken” because of the short time they had spent with him.

The couple also said that they thanked everybody for their support, but no piece of the statement showed any reference to Jett’s medical history. Yet, back in 2003, Preston announced that when Jett was 2 years old, he was at danger to die because of some symptoms, worsened by fever, rashes and swollen lymph nodes. The doctors then diagnosed him with Kawasaki disease, which leads to inflammation of the blood vessels in young children.

Michael Ossi and Michael McDermott, the family’s lawyers, said on Sunday that Jett supposedly suffered from grand mal seizures, which can cause loss of consciousness. The boy was taking an anti-seizure medication, called Depakote, for years.

As the lawyers also said, the boy stopped taking the drug because it had lost its effectiveness amid concern about side effects. They added that Jett used to have one serious seizure a week. 

The couple still have their 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu, but previous statement released by Travolta showed that Jett was the light in his life, being the first child and looking so much alike him.
