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.

I just heard about this
very sad indeed
my prayers go out to John and his family

ouch, that is a super heart breaker

thats very sad

Very sad news.

I read that on MSN. I did not realize they had a sick child. What a sad shame. I hope I NEVER know what it is like to lose a child, EVER!!!

My father die at 45 only for the same reason when he was sleeping, suffocated with his pillow . I never have the chance to say goodbye to him .This kids remember me how sad is to lose someone this way .

it IS very sad. but at the same time be thankful they did not suffer needlessly. better then a long drawn out battle with some disease or illness that leaves them in exquisite pain for a long period of time and leaves that as your final memories of them. simply be thankful for what time you had together and remember the good times.

He have it from 19 years old and live with . From 2000 I dedicate my self working with epileptic children' s.I have to admit it that I still freaking out every time when a kid have one of this crises ,when they turn blue and suffering on spams.

i went shopping today and a little girl aged 2 had a seizure right in front of me, i hope shes ok now. it was heartbreaking to see.
