John's lawyer, Michael Ossi, told TMZ, which first reported the news, that Jett suffered a seizure on Friday, January 2 at his family's vacation home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. The 16-year-old son was reportedly taken to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. An autopsy will also be performed at the hospital.

Meanwhile, police spokesperson Loretta Mackey told TMZ that Jett hit his head on the bathtub.
