NASSAU (Reuters) - The teenage son of actor John Travolta died suddenly on Friday during a family vacation in the Bahamas, according to the family's lawyer.

Jett Travolta, 16, suffered a seizure at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island, attorney Michael Ossi said.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, Ossi said.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.

how awful......i will pray!!!

thats odd though people dont usually die from seizures.....there might have been some other factor involved!!!

A friend and co-workers daughter died to same day from a seizure. She has epilepsy. I will pray for both of them and their families.

You don't necessarily die from the seizure itself but from the issues that could arise from them... The little girl I speak of bit and choked on her tongue in the middle of the night
