Oscar-nominated actor John Travolta and his family suffered a major loss Friday, January 2nd 2009, when his teenage son died after a seizure while on a family vacation in the Bahamas. 16-year-old Jett Travolta, who had a history of seizures, had an episode on Friday morning. According to reports published by CNN, he died on the scene, and all attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
