Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, has died.

According to Reuters, the teenager passed away at Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas while on vacation with his family for the holidays.

There have long been rumors that the often incognito Jett suffered from autism. The Travoltas however, who are devout Scientologists, have always denied those reports, instead maintaining that Jett suffered from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease later in life.

Michael Ossi, an attorney for the family, says Jett suffered a seizure at his family’s vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the only son for Travolta and Preston, a former model. The couple also has a daughter, Ella Blue, age 8.

He was only a kid. This is just heartbreaking…..Blessings to the Travolta Family.
