It’s been a tragic week for John Travolta and family ever since their son/brother Jett passed away last Friday. And his funeral will be held today in Ocala, Florida, according to a report.
The “Pulp Fiction” actor’s son underwent an autopsy this past Monday and was determined to have died as a result of his seizure disorder. He was subsequently cremated and his remains were flown to the US from the Bahamas where he died at the Travolta’s vacation home.

Jett Travolta has died as a result of a seizure, his death certificate has confirmed. There are no suspicious circumstances and his body has been returned to his family. The autopsy results may or may not be released to the pubic.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s 16-year-old son, Jett, who had a history of health problems, was killed by a “seizure,” according to the death certificate issued today.
While the official results of an autopsy today have yet to been publicly announced, mortician Glen Campbell of the Restview Memorial Mortuary in the Bahamas confirmed to E! News that cause of death was a seizure and “there was no sign of head trauma.”
“The body was in good condition,” Campbell said.
A source close to the proceedings also told E! News that a preliminary report on Jett’s death determined “there is no foul play,” corroborating what a Travolta family lawyer initially stated last Friday.
“It is not a suspicious death. The body wouldn’t already be turned over to the mortuary if there was anything suspicious,” the source said. Autopsies are standard procedure in the Bahamas in cases of sudden death.
E! News
I don?t think there was much question of Jett?s cause of death, given his medical history, but an autopsy stops any questions that might linger for the family. Please note that the ‘no sign of head trauma’ comment is from the mortician, not the pathologist, who would know more accurately the signs of head trauma. This does not mean that Jett didn’t hit his head, as reported earlier. Death certificates can be strange in their causes - my grandfather died of cancer, but on his death certificate it says ‘heart failure’ because that was technically his cause of death.
The lawyers of the Travolta family have given a statement suggesting that Jett may have died in his father?s arms.
“He never dreamed of this ? their relationship was so close,? says family attorney Mike Ossi, who is in the Bahamas with the actor. “He always said ‘I’m happy as long as my kids are happy.’ He is heartbroken ? To bury your son is the worst thing you can ever do.”
According to Ossi, 16-year-old Jett was discovered by a nanny on Friday morning around 10 a.m. After the nanny called 911, John Travolta tried in vain to resuscitate his son.
“He didn’t want anything to happen to that boy, and he kept on trying to revive him,” said Ossi. “He did mouth-to-mouth until they had to physically remove John to take Jett to the hospital.”
The teen, who is the only son of Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, has a history of having seizures. Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey told the Associated Press that Jett hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital.
According to Ossi, around 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 1, John said goodnight to his son, who was tired from a long day spent on the water with his family. Jett went to his room with his nanny. “He always had a nanny by his side because he had a history of seizures,” says Ossi. “John took extra precautions. [Jett] was never alone.”
Mike McDermott, John’s corporate counsel, adds, “John did everything in his power to revive [his son.] John and Jett had a very strong relationship. Words cannot explain how close they were. This will take a lot of time. His life will never be the same again.”
People
I hope this is true, because, as Ossi points out, this is the worst case scenario for any parent. Being with them when they died would be the best outcome you could possibly hope for in these circumstances.
Yesterday the emergency crew spoke about the scene, saying that both John and his wife Kelly Preston traveled with Jett in the ambulance to the hospital, where they were speaking to him.
This is just such a tragedy. People magazine have dug up an interview with John Travolta where he says in 1994 that he can?t imagine life without his son. No parent wants to think about what life would be like without them, it?s just too horrifying. I?m hugging my kids a little tighter today; my heart goes out to the Travolta family.

With today’s scheduled autopsy being completed, the hearse carrying John Travolta’s son Jett arrived at Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium in Freeport, Grand Bahama, on Monday afternoon (January 5).
As for the cause of death, no results from today’s medical examination have been disclosed - and it may just stay that way, as the Bahamian Minister of Health Hubert Minnis failed to mention whether the report would be made public.
