Preliminary plans are to fly the body of 16-year-old Jett Travolta to Ocala by midweek, Michael McDermott, Travolta's corporate and commercial attorney. Travolta, 54, and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, 46, have a house in Ocala.
“John and Kelly are still sleeping," McDermott said late Saturday morning. “They probably stayed up most of the night ... It's heartwrenching. If you knew how much he loved that boy ... You could just see it, you could feel it."
The teenager died in Grand Bahama after apparently having a seizure and hitting his head at his family's vacation home, authorities said. A caretaker found Jett unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Police Superintendent Basil Rahming said in a statement.
The teenager had last been seen entering the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. An autopsy is planned for Monday. Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub, said a police officer who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak on the matter.
Family attorney Michael Ossi said in a statement that Jett died suddenly on Friday.
