London, January 5 (ANI): Heartbroken John Travolta has revealed how the actor tried his best to keep his son from passing away.

Sixteen-year-old Jett, who had a history of seizures arising from the rare condition Kawasaki Disease, had been found unconscious on January 2 by caretaker Jeff Katharain.

He is thought to have died after hitting his head on a bathtub following a seizure in a hotel bathroom on a family holiday in the Bahamas.

The 54-year-old grieving father had come in shortly and administered CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) an emergency medical procedure on his son, who was later pronounced dead at a Freeport hospital.

I tried the kiss of life for about 20 minutes. I wouldnt give up. Jeff gave Jett CPR, the Sun quoted him as saying.

I did everything I could to keep Jett alive. The paramedics took over from me when they arrived, he added.

Travoltas lawyer Michael McDermott revealed the measures taken to ensure that Jett was properly looked after.

He said: John and Kelly had everything possible set up for an emergency in Jetts life. Jeff slept 8ft from Jett. There was a baby monitor right next to him in his bed. And a chimer attached to the bathroom door announced when Jett was going in. All this was because he was prone to seizures.

It is yet to be determined whether Jett fell to the floor as a result of a seizure or he had a seizure after falling or slipping.

An autopsy is due to be performed on Jett to determine the cause of his death. (ANI)
