HEARTBROKEN John Travolta was last night poised to fly his son’s body home — as the star’s last words to the lad were revealed.
The actor, a trained pilot, and his family were preparing to leave the Bahamas after collecting tragic Jett, 16, from a memorial home.
Hours earlier it emerged Travolta, 54, had held dying Jett’s hand and begged, “Please son, come on” as they raced to hospital in an ambulance.
His actress wife Kelly Preston, 46, grasped her son’s other hand and urged, “Come on baby, come on Jett.”
The couple had insisted on making the mercy dash with their son rather than follow the ambulance in a car.
Jett, who suffered fits, was pronounced dead soon after arrival. A post-mortem yesterday gave the cause of death as “seizures”.
He was found last Friday slumped in a bathroom at the Old Bahama Bay Resort on Grand Bahama.
A doctor was giving him CPR when paramedics arrived and took over.
Disease
Chief paramedic Marcus Garvey said Jett — diagnosed at age two with Kawasaki disease which can cause heart problems — had a bump on his forehead and was bleeding from the mouth.
He said: “He was unconscious, with no respiratory function or pulse. John and Kelly were on the scene at all times.
“They were concerned and asking, ‘Is he getting there, are they helping him, is anything happening, is he breathing?’
“Kelly asked, ‘Are we getting him back. Is he coming back?’ I said, ‘We’re still trying.”
Inside the ambulance, anguished Pulp Fiction star Travolta and Kelly held Jett’s hands and urged him on. Mr Garvey said: “They asked, ‘How far is the hospital? How long now?’”
He said the couple watched as doctors at the Freeport Hospital worked in vain on Jett.
The pair, committed Scientologists, will fly Jett back to their home in Ocala, Florida. They are expected to hold a funeral inspired by the so-called church.
