  Undated picture released by the Travolta family shows actor John Travolta (R) with his son Jett. Officials in the Bahamas on Monday conducted an autopsy on Jett Travolta, the teenage son of actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, who died here last week during a family holiday, police said.

  Actress Kelly Preston, wife of actor John Travolta, is pictured with their 16-year-old son Jett in this undated photograph, released January 4, 2009. Travolta and Preston broke a two-day silence over the death of Jett on Sunday, saying they were 'heartbroken' by their sudden loss. Jett, who had a history of seizures, was found unconscious in a bathroom at his family's home at the Old Bahama Bay resort on Grand Bahama Island on Friday morning.
  An official with a Bahamian funeral home says Jett Travolta's death certificate says he was killed by a "seizure." Glen Campbell is assistant director of the funeral home handling the remains of John Travolta's 16-year-old son.
  He tells The Associated Press that the body is in "great condition" and shows no sign of head trauma, despite police officials who said the teen may have hit his head on a bathtub.
  Authorities performed an autopsy Monday but didn't release the results. Campbell said the certificate was based on the autopsy findings, and gave no information on the cause of death beyond the word "seizure."
  Jett Travolta's body is now at the Grand Bahama airport en route for burial in Ocala, Florida.
