John Travolta’s son, died in his father’s arms this past week in the Bahamas from a seizure related to Kawasaki disease.

Travolta’s lawyer who is in the Bahamas with the Travolta family stated that:

“Jett may have still been alive when John administered CPR, and then the EMT took over. Jett was pronounced dead at the hospital. I like to believe John had a chance to say goodbye. He may have died in his dad’s arms. I am not certain…”

As the weekend progressed we stayed on top of the story and more details continue to surface shrouding the mysterious death with questions no one can answer yet.

The NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) is reporting that:

The Bahamas will use two pathologists to ensure a careful autopsy on John Travolta’s son, who died at the actor’s vacation home in Grand Bahama, the territory’s health minister said Saturday.
Dr. Hubert Minnis told The Associated Press that he decided to use a second specialist to guarantee a thorough assessment of what might have caused Jett Travolta’s death.

The 16-year-old was found collapsed in a bathroom on Friday after having a seizure and hitting his head on the bathtub, said a police officer who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak on the matter

Our wishes are with the family.
