John TravoltaFREEPORT, Bahamas (AP) — John Travolta's family doctor is in the Bahamas to witness the autopsy of the actor's son, who died suddenly at a family vacation home.

Bahamian lawmaker Obie Wilchcombe tells The Associated Press that Travolta received permission to have one of his doctors observe the procedure.

Authorities scheduled the autopsy for Monday to determine what caused the death of 16-year-old Jett, who was found unconscious Friday in a bathroom and had a history of seizures.

Wilchcombe, a parliament representative from Grand Bahama, was with the actor and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, after their son was pronounced dead at a Freeport hospital.

He said the family expects to bring Jett's body to Ocala, Florida, by Wednesday for burial.
