UPDATE: Travolta's Camp Disagrees With Police Reports On Son's Death!!

The latest development in the death of John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett has us scratching our heads.

The Police Report

Today, Police Superintendent Basil Rahming said in a statement that Jett, who had a history of seizures, was last seen entering a bathroom in the family's vacation home on Thursday. A "house caretaker" found him unconscious in the same bathroom late Friday morning, and Jett was rushed to a Freeport hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Another police officer, who declined to be named because she was not authorized to speak on the matter, told reporters that Jett apparently hit his head on the bathtub, which may have triggered the seizure.

The Controversy

The police report makes it seem as though Jett went undiscovered for a period of approximately ten to twelve hours, but according to TMZ, Travolta's lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, as well as their family attorney Michael Ossi say that the suggestion that Jett was in the bathroom for hours is "absolutely false." They added that Jett's fatal injury was the result of him hitting his head, but they definitely disagree with the amount of time he was in the bathroom before his discovery.

McDermott and Ossi say it appears as though Jett went back and forth from the bathroom to his room and the tragedy occurred "very shortly" before Jett was found on the bathroom floor at 10am by nanny Jeff Kathrein. McDermott said it was a "small window of time," rather than the hours we're led to believe. McDermott and Ossi added that two nannies were present on the trip and Jeff was by Jett's side the entire time. There was even a baby monitoring device by Jett's side and get this - there was a chimer in the bathroom that sounded every time the door was opened.

So with all this, the "small window of time" had to have been a few minutes, right? Why are the police making it seem like it was a few hours? We have so many questions, but after this latest development, we're not quite sure what to believe. This is all so reminiscent of Anna Nicole Smith's death in February of 2007, and we have a feeling this isn't going to be over any time soon. McDermott says the pain Travolta and Preston are feeling right now is (understandably) "unimaginable and unquantifiable."

Jett's Illness

Though there have been rumors for years that Jett was autistic, parents Kelly Preston and John Travolta have always said that Jett suffered from Kawasaki Disease since the age of 2. The illness leads to the inflammation of blood vessels in young children, and Kelly has stated in several interviews that she believes household cleaners and fertilizers made her son sick. Kelly has also said that the detoxification program based on teachings from the Church of Scientology helped improve her son's health.

Despite all the attention being given to Jett's struggle with Kawasaki Disease, NY Daily News reports that experts say it's highly unlikely that the rare childhood disorder is what caused him to have a seizure.

Dr. Stanford Shulman, a specialist in the disease at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, told the paper, "Seizures are not part of Kawasaki disease. If a teenager had a seizure and died, that would not commonly be due to Kawasaki disease."

When Will We Get Answers?

What could have caused this tragedy? According to the Associated Press, the autopsy is scheduled for Monday, January 5, so it looks like we'll have to wait until next week before we'll get any answers. Jett's body will be embalmed on Monday afternoon, and there will be a local showing on Tuesday and later that day Jett's body will be flown to Ocala, Florida for burial.

Our hearts go out to the family, and we'll bring you more details as soon as we get them.
