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.

Xenu is sorry that the kid died, but still…

Ahhh…finally, Xenu has prompted the most incoherent and bizarre response to date and Xenu’s work is done. Xenu was trying to illustrate the pointlessness and futility of posting on the interwebs to a family that will never read nor care about the unwashed, misspelled and grammatically incorrect rants of the masses.

Go about your daily business with the righteous indignation that you have stood up to a total stranger that enraged you, but who doesn’t care what you think and finds it hilarious that you need to rant and rave at them. Happy 2009 everybody! ;-)

Amanda, God/Xenu will bless you for your total, wonderful, compassionate compassion. Words on the interwebs are sacred and will completely heal the family that you do not know nor will ever care about you and your existence.

HEY XENU

CHECK PAGE 6: NOT MY COMMENT. I’ll happily share/admit any comment I make…but why don’t you rip on this commentator?! Punk.

i wiil like to say sorry for your loss but to tell the truth its kinda your own fault you knew he was suffering from kawasaki diasese which leads to heart diasese and never did anything no affence but he probably would have died evenually sorry. And i know john t. denied his son being autistic but he really looked liked he had it. oh well.

hey xenu, since when did you become a medical doctor? your statment “And i know john t. denied his son being autistic but he really looked liked he had it. oh well.” that is pure speculation on your part and that statement is hypothetical. Don’t you have a heart? You can’t go by looks alone, a medical doctor has to do the diagnoses. you are so cruel!
