The family’s attorney, Michael Ossi, confirmed his tragic death late Friday afternoon, telling news outlets that the young man suffered a fatal seizure at the Travolta clan’s home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

Jett Travolta had a history of seizures from a young age. Preston said her son suffered from Kawasaki disease, which can lead to heart problems for some children.

The teenager was the couple’s oldest child. They also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who is eight years old, and was born in 2000. May Jett rest in peace.
