HEARTBROKEN John Travolta was last night poised to personally fly his son’s remains home.
The actor and his family were preparing to leave the Bahamas after collecting tragic Jett, 16, from a memorial home.
Travolta, 54, a trained pilot, told friends he wished to carry Jett on his final journey.
The Pulp Fiction star and wife Kelly Preston, 46, were making arrangements to leave following the autopsy and embalming of Jett’s body.
Jett, who suffered fits, was found last Friday slumped in a bathroom at the Old Bahama Bay Resort on Grand Bahama.
Ready ... Travolta's jet at Grand Bahamas airport
Glen Campbell, assistant director of Grand Bahama’s Restview Memorial Mortuary, said Jett’s body showed NO sign of a serious head injury.
On move ... hearse at memorial home
Earlier it emerged Travolta had held dying Jett’s hand and begged, “Please son, come on” as they raced to hospital in an ambulance.
Actress Kelly 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.
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 Travolta and Kelly held Jett’s hands and urged him to hangon.
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.
A funeral home director said Jett Travolta’s cremated ashes were to be returned to the US today.
