Such horrible, shocking  news I can’t believe it.  Jett Travolta 16, son to John Travolta and Kelly Preston died today while he and the family vacationed in Bahamas.

The family’s lawyer, Michael Ossi told Reuters that Jett had suffered a seizure at the family vacation home at Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

However, according to police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, Jett hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island.

Jett is the only son of the couple who also have an 8 year old daughter Ella Bleu.

When Jett was 2 he became very, very ill with flu-like symptons Kelly  told Montel Williams in 2003.   He would later be diagnosed with Kawasaki disease which usually affects children from ages 2 to 5, and can cause inflammation of the arteries.

Although usually treatable, it can lead to lasting heart damage in some rare cases.

Jett also suffered from asthma which Kelly believed was a result of harsh household cleaning products.  This prompted her to lobby for more detailed labeling on chemical products.  She credits Scientology’s detoxification program for improving Jett’s health which is based on founder Ron L. Hubbard’s writings.

After Kelly gave birth to Jett, John Travolta held him for hours refusing to let nurses take him away for tests:

“After he was born and cleaned up, I held him for hours while Kelly slept. When they came to take him away for various tests, I said, ‘No, you can’t see him today. You’ll have to do it another day.’ I went a little nutsy.”

Our sincere condolences to the family.
