An autopsy on the body of John Travolta's son Jett will be carried out on Monday.

The 16-year-old was found unconscious on the bathroom floor of the family's Bahamas home after reportedly suffering a seizure and hitting his head on the bathtub.

"A nanny attempted to revive him, all attempts were made, but he couldn't be revived. They tried as hard as they could to revive Jett," Travolta's attorney, Michael Ossi, told ABC News.

Ossi added that Jett, whose mother is actress Kelly Preston, "had seizures in the past" but this one could not be controlled.

Bahamas parliament member Obie Wilchcombe said that he expects a conclusive autopsy to provide a "quick resolution" to the matter.
