John Travolta’s Son Dies at 16

While in the Bahamas on a nice family vacation, Jett Travolta died at the age of just 16-years-old. John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston remain in shock. Travolta's lawyer, Michael Ossi, made statements for the family. He said that Jett suffered a seizure at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island on Friday. He hit his head on the bathtub and was pronounced dead at Rand Memorial Hospital. His nanny tried everything to keep Jett alive even giving him mouth-to-mouth.

Ossi tells People, "He (Travolta) never dreamed of this – their relationship was so close. He always said 'I'm happy as long as my kids are happy.' He is heartbroken … To bury your son is the worst thing you can ever do."
