The 16-year-old son of John Travolta has died while vacationing the in Bahamas with Travolta and wife Kelly Preston.

Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas confirmed the death to TMZ.

Reuters reports Jett Travolta, 16, suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, attorney Michael Ossi said. Ossi also confirmed attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene.

Travolta has denied that his son is autistic, but confirmed that he suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome, which often leads to heart disease.

Travolta and Preston also have an 8-year-old daughter, Ella Blue.

UPDATE: AP reports that Police in the Bahamas say the death was subsequent to an injury Jett sustained by hitting his head in a bathtub Friday morning.

Jett was found unconscious in the bathroom by a house caretaker. He was rushed to Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from Chief Police Superintendent Basil Rahming.

Why something so tragic would happen to such good and loving people is hard to understand. I personally cannot understand the grief you feel, but while reading several pages of posts I came across one that made more sense than anything else.
God Bless,

I just want to say how sorry I am. I do not know any of you personally, but I’ve always thought you were honestly the nicest people in the public eye and I cannot imagine why this happened to your family except to say the Jett was a gift and he was called for something great. May you find peace in all of us trying to lift you in this difficult time.”
Love, Shelly

My husband and I lost our boy too of twenty five years old with a friend brandy thorpe and her tow babies of one and two years old. They ran out of gas and waited paiently for her family too show up with the gas. They didnt feel safe at all on I-35 in Waco Texas so they decided to walk on the access road where they were tradgically ran over by a car….. here in this state of Texas they dont automatically give a breath or blood test, even though they said they were coming from a set up of a West fest in West Texas. We are very sad when ever we here of our children dying it is not what God wants either , we too with other thousands of people that have lost a child we will mourn with you and your extened family. there are no words for the loss of a child at all. John and Deborah Howell of Waco Texas.

There really are no words to express the heartbreak a parent goes through at the loss of a child. My thoughts and prayers are with you that God will comfort you in your time of need and keep your family safe till you once again see Jett in God’s loving arms.
Look to God, He will give you strength if only you ask for it. God Bless you!

SCIENTOLOGY BELIEFS: What is an engram?

The reactive mind does not store memories as we know them. It stores particular types of mental image pictures called engrams. Engrams are a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full “unconsciousness.”

“Unconsciousness” could be caused by the shock of an accident, anesthetic used for an operation, the pain of an injury or the delirium of illness. During these times, the analytical mind shuts down in full or in part and the reactive mind cuts in, in full or in part. An engram exists below the individual’s awareness level yet it can be activated so as to enforce its content, and can cause unevaluated, unknowing and unwanted fears, emotions, pains and psychosomatic illnesses.

Subject: condolance to John,Kelly and Ella

Importance: High

Dear John, Kelly and Ella, I am so very SORRY about your son and brother Jett. I know that this is the hardest thing in your life to go through. I went through it 16 months ago and the pain is still there and probley always will be.My Fianc,ee and me lived as husband and wife and were to be married when he was unexpectedly killed in a car accident. God is holding and carrying you and his angles are surrounding you and sitting on your shoulder. I know Jett is with your mother and family in Heaven. They will be by him and he will want you not to be broken for he will be sad that the tears are shedding and he cant help comfort you. I know he,ll miss you too, but Gods time is different than our time. What if every minute of his time is a year in ours. That would mean that with God he was here for 16 long min. It would also mean that John and Kelly haven,t even been on earth for an hour in his time. It also means for Jett it won,t belong for him before he sees you agian. I am lighting a candle and it will burn all day for the remmberance of Jett and to pay homage to him. I wish I could do something else for your wounded spirit. May God shine on you and give you much needed Peace !! A sadden heart for you, Cindy …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Dear Travolta Family,

John, I have looked up to you as a role model since I was a teenager and saw you in the movie Grease. My grandmother lives near the home that you had lived in Windham, CT years ago. A beautiful home. I send you and your family my deepest sympathies and want you to know that you are all in my prayers. I am sure that when you fly, you can take comfort in knowing that your son is there, on your wing.
