NASSAU (Reuters) - The teenage son of actor John Travolta died suddenly on Friday during a family vacation in the Bahamas, according to the family's lawyer.

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.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.

God Bless them, what a terrible thing to have happen.

I've felt physically sick since I read this about an hour ago. I love John Travolta. He and his wife Kelly have to be of their minds with grief. Whatever with Scientology. I'm just glad that they have a strong faith to get them through this loss. There are no words.

Brent88 · 01-02-2009, 09:54 PM

How tragic, and he was only 16.

sunshinefizzy · 01-02-2009, 10:20 PM

God bless the Travoltas.
