John Travolta's attorney: Jett Travolta died from blow to head, was discovered right away


John Travolta's lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, tells TMZ that 16-year-old Jett Travolta's death was due to hitting his head on the bathtub, toilet seat, or both — and earlier reports that Jett went undiscovered for hours are absolutely false.
TMZ reports:
... it appears Jett went back and forth to his room and the fatal injury occurred "very shortly" before Jett was found on the bathroom floor — McDermott called it a "small window of time."
They say it is not known for sure if Jett fell before or after his seizure. The report continues:
There was blood on the floor of the bathroom, but "not a tremendous amount." It appears the striking of Jett's head was the cause of death, though it won't be clear until the autopsy is performed Monday morning.
Jett's body will be embalmed Monday afternoon following the autopsy, according to McDermott, and will be flown to Ocala, Florida on Tuesday for burial
