John Travolta, Kelly Preston and their children Jett and Ella Bleu, leave an airport in Rome.Us Magazine
John Travolta's lawyers -- who are close family friends -- reveal to Usmagazine.com that Jett may have died[/URL] in his father's arms Friday. "Yesterday was the worst day of [John's] life," Travolta's lawyer and confidant, Michael McDermott, and Michael Ossi, the family's attorney, tell Us in a phone interview (during which they asked all quotes to be jointly attributed).
Us: How is John doing?
Ossi and McDermott: "John is distraught. He is trying to understand and reconcile this. He is seeking an explanation so that this makes sense to him. And his loved ones are trying to provide that to him.
"Yesterday was the worst day of his life. Today is probably equally as bad, and if not, it's the second worst day of his life.
"John is recognizing the outpouring of support he has got from both the U.S. and the world. He can feel the love and he says it makes him stronger and hopefully it allows him to reconcile.
"He is undergoing the pain any father would if they lost his son. Generally a son buries his father, and John thought that would be the way it would go with Jett, not the other way around.
"He is in shock. He is emotionally distraught. He is going through many different feelings of disbelief and anger. It's going to take a while for him to feel good again. This is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to him and he needs to go through a process of healing. John and Kelly are suffering total misery. They were so close to their son. This is hard to accept.
"He had set a vacation for his employees and friends. Forty-nine adults and their children were coming here [to the Bahamas] from Jan. 2nd to 4th. We were all so excited to spend some days with John. We were on the plane and we had no idea, and then we landed and we found out. Every year he holds a party for friends and employees and this year he had the idea to fly us all to his condo. We were planning to hang out on the beach, go for boat rides and spend time with the family.
Us: Have John and Kelly spent time with anyone since everyone arrived?
Ossi and McDermott: "John and Kelly have been pretty much locked away.
"We are staying here until John leaves. The autopsy should be on Monday.
Us: How is Jett's 8-year-old sister, Ella Bleu, taking it?
Ossi and McDermott: "John broke the news to Ella. She is heartbroken. She is in disbelief, but it is starting to sink in. She has been asking where her brother is. She was so close to Jett. The whole family were so close. They went everywhere together. If John made a movie, they were all there with him.
Us: It's been reported that Jett was left alone for several hours before being discovered. Can you clarify the timeline?
Ossi and McDermott: "Jett was not left alone. He had a nanny present at all times. The nanny was sleeping close to Jett's room. There was a baby monitor, a chime on the door so it was known when Jett was going in and out. He was completely supervised. The nanny found him.
Us: Is it true that Jett died in John's arms?
Ossi and McDermott: "Jett may have still been alive when John administered CPR, and then the EMT took over. Jett was pronounced dead at the hospital. I like to believe John had a chance to say goodbye. He may have died in his dad's arms. I am not certain."
Us: It's been said Jett had a history of seizures. How often did he have them?
Ossi and McDermott: "I am not confident to talk about that. I know he had a history, which of course warranted the extra attention."
Us: You obviously knew Jett well. What was his personality like?
Ossi and McDermott: "He was a wonderful boy. He had physical limitations, but when he looked in his dad's eyes, the love was tangible. When he grabbed onto his dad, he did not want to let him go."
EXCLUSIVE: Grandmother: Jett Travolta "Was the Light Of Our Lives"
Kelly Preston's mom, Linda Carlson, opened up to Usmagazine.com about the Friday death of her grandson, Jett.
"I am devastated," Carlson told Us through tears.
"He was the light of our lives," she added.
Jett died Friday morning from after he slipped and hit his head on the bathtub or toilet -- or both -- at his family's vacation home in the Bahamas, according to John Travolta's lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, and family attorney, Michael Ossi. It's unclear if a seizure caused Jett's fall, or if he had a seizure after the impact.
The lawyers told TMZ.com that a manager from the hotel where the vacation home is located was first to the scene, and he helped Jett's nanny administer CPR.
(Jett was said to suffer from autism, which Travolta denies, instead claiming he was inflicted with Kawasaki Syndrome. The 16-year-old had an around-the-clock nanny, was watched over by baby monitor and his bathroom door chimed every time it was opened, TMZ reported.)
Travolta arrived and took over CPR shortly after for a "substantial period of time...until EMT came and took over."
Ossi told Us in a statement: "Attempts were made to revive him, but he died at the scene. Jett...had a history of seizures.
Jett was then taken to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport, Basil Rahming, the Chief Superintendent of the Grand Bahama Police, confirmed to Us Friday.
McDermott calls Preston and Travolta's pain over their son's death unimaginable and unquantifiable.
An autopsy will be performed Monday. There will be a local showing on Tuesday, and then the body will be flown to Ocala, Florida, to be buried.
Preston and Travolta are also parents to daughter Ella Bleu, 8
