John Travolta's 16-year-old son has died.

Teenager Jett was found lying in a bathtub at 11.40am on Friday morning (02.01.08) at his family's Bahamas holiday home where he was staying with his Hollywood actor father, his mother Kelly Preston and eight-year-old sister Ella Bleu.

Information is that Jett suffered from seizures

Jett had a history of fits and it is believed he experienced a seizure and fell and hit his head.

He was found by a caretaker and immediately rushed to a hospital in Freeport - where the home is situated - on Grand Bahama Island but was pronounced dead on arrival.

A police spokesman said: "Information is that Jett suffered from seizures. He was last seen when he went to use the bathroom at their residence."

Travolta, 54, and his 46-year-old wife are being comforted by friends, including the actor's corporate and commercial attorney Michael McDermott, at their beachside residence.

McDermott said: "We are all here and trying to help in any way we can. Their pain is evident. Both are grieving."
