JOHN Travolta's 16-year-old son has died after an accident at the movie star's holiday home.

Jett Travolta reportedly hit his head in a bathtub on New Year's Day. A caretaker found him unconscious.

Police told the Associated Press he was declared dead at a hospital in the Bahamas.

Family lawyer Michael Ossi said Jett suffered a seizure at the family property at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene, he said.

The teenager had a history of seizures. Preston has said her son suffered from Kawasaki disease, which can lead to heart problems for some children.

Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and actress Kelly Preston. They also have an eight-year-old daughter.

A spokeswoman for Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island could not comment for privacy reasons.

Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, which owns the holiday complex, said: "The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them."
