The family of John Travolta and Kelly Preston are grief-stricken after the sudden death of their 16-year-old son, Jett, Friday morning. Tragedy struck while the family, including Jett’s 8-year-old sister, Ella Bleu, was vacationing at their home in the Bahamas.
An official autopsy is scheduled to take place Monday. Bahamian health minister Dr. Hubert Minnis tells the Associated Press he decided to use two experts to guarantee a thorough assessment of what caused the death of Jett.
E! News reports Jett died of a seizure and that he had a history of them. As of now the couple is currently staying in the Bahamas until they get some answers.
John and Kelly posted the following on their personal websites:
“We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered.
We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time that we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us hope for a brighter future.”
