Pals: Travolta & Preston to Stay Strong for Daughter's Sake
Friends of John Travolta and Kelly Preston offered condolences after the death of son Jett and said the couple will friend strength in caring for 8-year-old daughter Ella.
Mike Nichols, who directed Travolta in 1998's Primary Colors, tells PEOPLE: "They're very strong. They have Ella. They have lots of people they love to take care of. And they will. But they have to have time for just plain grief."
A source close the family tells PEOPLE that the autopsy on their 16-year-old son Jett revealed his death Jan. 2 in the Bahamas was caused by a "seizure disorder." Because there was no foul play, the body was released immediately to the Travolta family.
"There's probably nothing in the world that is harder for a parent than losing a child, so for both of them, I just ... I just can't imagine anything more difficult," says family friend Anne Archer. "I think what's most important is that friends and family and the community collectively put their arms around them and hold their thoughts for them and help support them through this time."

While I am devastated for them, their son did not have to die if they had given him the medications he needed.

Do we know that he wasn't on medication?
I feel so bad for this poor family.

There's been plenty of reports he was on meds, untill they were no longer effective and he was getting worse. I do not believe it was the families fault at all.

last report I heard was that he was on meds and he started having bad side effects so they took him off.
I heard he was on anti-seizure meds and prednisone. I know prednisone has awful side effects long term.
