John Travolta Left "Heartbroken" After Losing Son

Posted Sunday January 4, 2009 3:48 PM GMT

As condolences continue to pour forth, the shock of losing his young son at such an early age has John Travolta completely heartbroken.

"He never dreamed of this – their relationship was so close,” family attorney Mike Ossi told press. "He always said 'I'm happy as long as my kids are happy.' He is heartbroken … To bury your son is the worst thing you can ever do."

The latest details tell that 16-year-old Jett was found unresponsive by a caretaker at around 10AM on Friday (January 2) - with the "Grease" actor then trying desperately to bring his son back to life.

"He didn't want anything to happen to that boy, and he kept on trying to revive him," Ossi said. "He did mouth-to-mouth until they had to physically remove John to take Jett to the hospital."

Echoing similar sentiments, another one of John's lawyers told press, "John did everything in his power to revive [his son.] John and Jett had a very strong relationship. Words cannot explain how close they were. This will take a lot of time. His life will never be the same again."

Jett was the only son of the 54-year-old actor and his 46-year-old actress wife, Kelly Preston. An autopsy is scheduled to take place tomorrow.
