Freeport: Jett Travolta's body shows no sign of head trauma and his death certificate says he was killed by a "seizure," an undertaker, as the 16-year-old's celebrity parents prepared for a Florida funeral.
Glen Campbell, assistant director of the Bahamian funeral home handling the remains of John Travolta's son, told The Associated Press that the body is in ``great condition, despite police officials who had said the teen hit his head on a bathtub.
Authorities didn't release the results of an autopsy performed yesterday, but Campbell saw the body and the death certificate, which was based on its findings.
"The only cause of death that was listed was seizure ," he said.
Yesterday, a black hearse traveled from the funeral home to the airport after the family said it would bury the teen near their home in Ocala, Florida. Two white jets waited as police in dress uniforms blocked access to the tarmac.
Jett Travolta had a history of seizures and was found unconscious in a bathroom Friday at a family vacation home on Grand Bahama Island.
"We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief," actor parents John Travolta and Kelly Preston said Sunday in a public statement. "We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives."
Travolta tried CPR to revive his son, who may have died in his arms before an emergency medical technician took over, Usmagazine.com reported, citing Travolta attorneys Michael McDermott and Michael Ossi.
