Jett Travolta's death

Jett died in January 2009 while on a family vacation in the Bahamas after hitting his head on a bathtub upon having a seizure at their home on Grand Bahama Island. During a 2012 episode of The Doctors, Travolta's late wife Kelly discussed Jett's experience with autism and Kawasaki Syndrome. The illness is a rare condition that causes the walls of arteries throughout the body to become inflamed. It is most commonly seen in children.

Travolta is also the father of two other children, Ella, 21, and Benjamin, 10, whom he shared with Preston. Apart from this heartfelt post, the actor goes on to share several other pictures with his kids and pens sweet captions on the same. John recently shared a happy picture of his daughter as she turned 21 years old. Take a look.
