Jett Travolta Autopsy Confirms He Died of “Seizure”

Jett Travolta’s autopsy has been completed, and a source close to the investigation tells E! Online, “It is not a suspicious death. Jett, who had a history of health problems, was killed by a “seizure,” according to the death certificate issued today.

The autopsy was completed around 12pm local time, and Jett’s body is currently at the Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium on Grand Bahama. Bahamian official (and close Travolta family friend) Obie Wilchcombe says that the family has considered a possible viewing tomorrow, but the remains are being prepared for immediate transport back to Florida.

 There are a few things that will be speculated on and become urban legend about Jett’s death however.  A staffer at the Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium, which is preparing Jett’s body for the flight back to the States, says there was no indication of head trauma. That contradicts initial statements made by local police, who said that Jett had hit his head on the bathtub in his room at the Old Bahama Bay resort, presumably after suffering the seizure.  Also apparently Jett suffered grand mal seizures for years that were “frequent and extremely serious.”   They were so bad, “each seizure was like a death,” with Jett losing consciousness and convulsing.

Jett reportedly took a drug called Depokate for “several years,” reducing his seizures from an average of every four days, to approximately once every three weeks. But the drug eventually lost its effectiveness, according to the Travolta’s lawyers. They say “it began to cause serious physical damage” including damage to Jett’s liver.  So Travolta and Preston, after consulting neurosurgeons, reportedly stopped administering the drug. Jett was apparently not given a substitute drug to try and went back to having at least one seizure every four days at the time of his death.
