As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jett will likely be returned to Florida. A Restview Mortuary source told Access on Sunday that Jett's body would then be brought to the Florida mortuary.

The Associated Press reported on Saturday afternoon that two pathologists would be used during the autopsy to make for a "thorough assessment" of the cause of death.

Michael McDermott, John's corporate and commercial attorney, told NBC News on Saturday afternoon that the body of Jett will likely be flown to Ocala, Florida, where the family has a home.

As for the results of Jett's autopsy, according to TMZ, they may never become public.

The Ministry of Health in the Bahamas reportedly told TMZ that Dr. Hubert Minnis, a pathologist at Rand Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Karen Sands, an American pathologist, would send their results to a coroner, who will then forward the entire report to the Travolta/Preston family.

Jett is believed to have suffered a seizure and hit his head on the bathtub on Sunday at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.

    We know their love for this beautiful child is immense. If they know it in their hearts a following that doesnt at all resemble a church in all its practices has a part to play, it's time to reassess that * Jett has handed you the Key to break free off the chains of Scientology. Jett Travolta has gone to be with the Lord & has found peace. A stronger Love is your bond, John, Kel

    To John & Kelly and your family---your love for your son was always evident and you have my greatest sympathy and respect. For the rest of you speculating I feel sorry for you that you live such sad and unfulfilled lives that this all you have to do with your time. Leave this family alone and let them grieve their loss and celebrate the life of their son.

    steve b- your lack of sensitivity is only overshadowed by your utter ignorance and complete cowardice, how dare your use a tragic event, such as the loss of a life, to push your twisted personal agenda (religious or political). you, in my opinion, are the problem not the solution. wrap your tiny mind around that one.
