John Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, died today.
Rand Memorial Hospital in the Bahamas tells TMZ the son of John Travolta died today.
We're told 16-year-old Jett was vacationing with Travolta and wife Kelly Preston. We do not know the circumstances of his death.
There have been reports that Jett was autistic, though Travolta has denied it, saying he suffers from Kawasaki Syndrome, a condition which often leads to heart disease.
UPDATE: 4:00 PM ET -- Travolta's attorney Michael Ossi 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 and he died on scene. [TMZ]

I actually gasped out loud when I heard about this. This is just awful. How heartbreaking. This kid wasn't some spoiled Hollywood teenager who OD'd or something; he was on vacation w/his family, had a seizure, hit his head on a bathtub, and leaves behind a family in overwhelming grief. I can't even imagine... sigh.
