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.

Prayers for Mr. Travolta and his wife.
I can’t even imagine the pain the family must be going through. Sixteen.
Oh no. How incredibly sad. RIP. Condolences to the Travolta family.
Prayers to Jett’s family and may he rest in eternal peace. I can’t imagine a more hideous way to bring in the New Year.
I see why she is your ex.
This is terrible.
Ah, man. I hate Travolta’s politics, but this is a bummer. Losing a teen-aged son is horrific, but it must be even worse when The Whole World is Watching. The upside is that The Whole World is also Praying, at least the whole right world. My prayers go to the Travoltas that God will give them strength and comfort.
omg.. RIP. you have our condolences John.
What a horrible tragedy! It’s too hard to even think of such a subject.
Sorry to hear of your loss. The times of our lives can really try our patience, blessed are those who have faith in the Lord.
I always got the impression that he was a good person and good parent despite his religious beliefes.
Lord, rest the soul of thy servant Jett and console his parents.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
The sad thing is that in addition to the loss itself, they will now have to endure the gossip rags with screaming headlines like “Son dies for lack of medical treatment”, or “Parents decide not to aid disabled son during seizure” and other equally libelous garbage. No matter how a child dies, parents will blame themselves in one way or another and they don’t need gossip adding to their torment.
I wish them peace and love in their time of sorrow, and hope the Good Lord looks out for them.
A parent should never outlive a child. This is sad. Prayers for the family.
We are watching Hairspray. I walked over to the computer and this story popped up as a headline on Yahoo.
May Our Lord give the Travolta family peace. How horribly sad.
NOt sure yet of the circumstances but prayers for the Travolta family.
Godspeed.
