Tragedy has Rocked the John Travolta family. Travoltas i6 year old son Jett was transported to a Bahamian hospital and died on Friday. Jett Travolta apparently suffered a seizure and died while on a family vacation.
Marcus Garvey, an EMT who was on the scene reported the boy had a bump on his head, believed to be from hitting it on the bathtub, and was unconscious.
There have long been reports that Jett, who has a history of suffering seizures, was autistic, though John and Kelly denied it, saying that he instead suffers from Kawasaki Disease, a relatively rare illness which could cause heart problems. In an interview with USA Today in 2002, Kelly Preston recalled her son’s diagnosis after he became “very, very sick with high fever and swollen glands and peeling fingers and rash all over his body” eight years earlier.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston have released a statement thanking fans for their support after the death of their son 16-year-old son Jett in the Bahamas on Friday.
“We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences,” they said in a statement posted on Kelly’s Web site late Saturday.
