I didn't even know he had a son, but very sad to hear about this tragedy.

I read the short article on MSN, it just said he had hit his head on the bathtub, never said anything about a seizure. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'm epileptic & had seizures all the time.

Reminded me of Anna Nicole's son, Daniel. He died in The Bahamas as well.

He died of a seizure from a related illness. I'm not sure about a bathtub.

Didn't he die of a drug overdose?

I hadn't heard anything about this until you mentioned it. I went searching, and found this article:

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of Hollywood film stars John Travolta and Kelly Preston, has died in the Bahamas, Travolta's lawyer confirmed to TMZ Friday.

The teen, who reportedly had a history of health problems, was vacationing with his parents when he suffered a seizure at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, Travolta's attorney Michael Ossi told the entertainment news Web site.

Police told TMZ it appears Jett hit his head in a bathtub. An autopsy was being conducted to determine the exact cause of his death.

Usmagazine.com quoted John Travolta as speaking affectionately about his son during an interview with the Australian media several years ago.

"He's my first, and he's my heart. And he's a very special boy," John Travolta said. "He's Daddy's boy."

Ossi told CNN Jett's death "was completely out of the blue."

"John and Kelly are happy when their children are happy. This is the worst day of John's life," the lawyer said.

Preston's half-brother, Chris Palzis, told OK! magazine: "We're all devastated. It's definitely a bad time. That's all I have to say."

In addition to his parents, Jett Travolta is also survived by an 8-year-old sister named Ella.

That's one of the saddest things I've heard. It's absolutely horrible and my heart goes out to the entire family.

Yeah, he hit his head on the bathtub. Until reading an article afterwards I never knew he had other health problems.

& yeah, he did die of an overdose. He was young, a child of a celebrity & died in the Bahamas. that's why it reminded me of it.
