Song is Mark Harris "Wish you were here".

John Travolta's teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas after falling ill and hitting his head at his family's vacation home, police said Friday. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.

The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Another police spokeswoman, Loretta Mackey, said Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub.

A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport said she could not release any information because of privacy concerns.

Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter. The family arrived on a private plane Tuesday and had been vacationing at their home in the Old Bahama Bay resort community.

El hijo adolescente de John Travolta murió tras enfermarse y golpearse en la cabeza en la casa de vacaciones del actor, indicó la policía.

Una ama de llaves encontró a Jett Travolta, de 16 años, inconsciente en el baño a media mañana del viernes y fue trasladado en ambulancia a un hospital de Freeport, donde fue declarado muerto, de acuerdo con un comunicado del comisario de policía Basil Rahming.

El adolescente fue visto por última vez cuando entraba al baño el jueves y tenía antecedentes de sufrir ataques, indicó el texto. La policía dijo que planea efectuar una autopsia para determinar la causa de la muerte.

Otra portavoz policial, Loretta Mackey, dijo que aparentemente el muchacho se pegó en la cabeza con la tina del baño.

Jett era el hijo mayor de Travolta y su esposa, la actriz Kelly Preston. También tienen una hija de 8 años. La familia llegó el martes en un avión privado y había estado de vacaciones en su casa en la comunidad turística de Old Bahama Bay.

"La familia Travolta se ha vuelto como nuestra propia familia en Old Bahama Bay y les extendemos nuestras más profundas condolencias", dijo Robert Gidel, presidente de Ginn Resorts, empresa propietaria del lugar.

  • im crying for you jett. Eerie how face/off predicted this

  • Even though time continues to move forward so very quickly.....time does not completely heal....Laughter and love can stand still and move forward! My deepest sympathy is the

    only words I can use, to give to John and his beautiful family. When a hero comes along,

    like John, we all feel his pain, because he has always been in our lives and created such

    fond memories of our childhood. "Losing one so close to you leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal" x
