John Travolta and Kelly Preston's Son Dies at 16

Friday January 2, 2009
Sadly, we just heard the news that John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son, Jett, died today. The 16-year-old was on vacation in the Bahamas with the family when he suffered a seizure, according to reports from People.

He apparently hit his head in the bathtub and was rushed to Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island, where he was pronounced dead. He leaves behind a sister, Ella Bleu, 8. Our thoughts go out to the entire family.
