John Travolta's 16-year-old son has died, Basil Rahming, the Chief Superintendent of the Grand Bahama Police, confirmed Friday.Travolta's lawyer, Michael Ossi, reported the news that Jett suffered a seizure Friday morning at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.
He was taken to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival, Rahming told Us. An autopsy will be performed at the hospital.
Police spokesperson Loretta Mackey reported that Jett hit his head on the bathtub. A caretaker named Jeff Michael Kathrain found Jett unconscious in the bathroom around 10 a.m., Rahming said.
It's been reported that Jett had autism, which Travolta has denied -- instead saying Jett is inflicted with Kawasaki Syndrome which can lead to heart disease.
Travolta called Jett "my baby" in an interview with the Australian media several years ago.
"He's my first, and he's my heart. And he's a very special boy," Travolta said. "He's Daddy's boy. And...we spend a lot of time together even though I'm pretty busy. He loves the outdoors and he loves to travel. "He loves being on the plane. We fly in the ultralight together," he continued. "And...he likes to climb trees and swim."
Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are also parents to daughter Ella, 8.
