The boy, Jett Travolta, died Friday after suffering a seizure at the family's vacation home in the Bahamas, though it wasn't immediately clear whether the death was related to his illness. The boy was found in a bathtub, where he reportedly fell and hit his head.
Jett Travolta was pronounced dead at Rand Memorial Hospital, police said, and an autopsy is being scheduled.
