Jett Travolta

The nation has been grieving with the family of teenager Jett Travolta, son of movie stars John Travolta and Kelly Preston.

Jett, 16, died Jan. 02, 2009, after suffering a seizure at the vacation home of his parents located in The Bahamas.  The family held burial services this week after returning to Ocala, Fla.

National news reports said a caretaker discovered the young man in a bathtub, on which police officials initially surmised he had hit his head, but funeral officials later said that was not the case. Jett's father administered CPR until paramedics arrived on the scene. 

John Travolta, who is a Scientologist, identified his son's body after the teenager was taken to a Bahamian hospital, where he was prononuced dead and an autopsy performed.  Travolta and Kelly Preston were reported to have spent several hours with the body of their son after the identification.

Jett Travolta was cremated before the family returned to the United States.
