Michael McDermott, John’s corporate and commercial attorney, told NBC News on Saturday afternoon that the body of Jett will likely be flown to Ocala, Florida, where the family has a home.
As for the results of Jett’s autopsy, according to TMZ, they may never become public.
The Ministry of Health in the Bahamas reportedly told TMZ that Dr. Hubert Minnis, a pathologist at Rand Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Karen Sands, an American pathologist, would send their results to a coroner, who will then forward the entire report to the Travolta/Preston family.
