Jett Travolta, 16-year-old son of actors John Travolta and Kelly Preston has been found dead. He 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. Jett was found in a bathtub, where he reportedly fell and hit his head. He was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island. According to past reports, Jett was suffering from Kawasaki Syndrome since he was 2-years-old, a condition that can lead to heart disease.
Kawasaki disease is a condition that affects children, especially boys under the age of 5, and causes aneurysms and blockages in the blood vessels. Kawasaki disease ( Kawasaki syndrome) was first identified in Japan in 1967 by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki, and the cause of the illness is still unknown. This disease has six symptoms: a high fever that lasts for more than five days, red lips and tongue, swelling of the hands and feet, bloodshot eyes, rash and swollen glands. The danger of Kawasaki syndrome is that it can cause large aneurysms in the blood vessels that feed blood to the heart.
