NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — John Travolta's teenage son, Jett, died in the Bahamas after falling ill and hitting his head at his family's vacation home, police said Friday. A house caretaker found Jett, 16, unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken by ambulance to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from chief police superintendent Basil Rahming.

The teenager had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday and had a history of seizures, according to the statement. Police said they are planning an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

The Travoltas were under pressure last year to confirm that their son is autistic. Some treatment of Autism requires medication which Scientology disdains. The church also denies the existence of any mental/neurological disorders.
