Caretaker Jeff Katharain had discovered the collapsed boy in the bathroom on January 2, reports Fox News.

The teenager had then been taken to Rand Memorial Hospital, Freeport, where he was pronounced dead, Police Superintendent Basil Rahming said in a statement.

It is yet to be determined if Jett fell to the floor as a result of a seizure or if he had a seizure after falling or slipping.

Dr. Hubert Minnis revealed that he decided to use a second specialist to help perform the autopsy to ensure a thorough consideration of what might have been the cause of death.

Jett's body is to be embalmed at Restview Memorial mortuary in the Bahamas.

Owner Keith McSweeney told Radar Online said: "We will embalm the body and there will be a private family viewing. After that, the body will be shipped back to Ocala, Florida." (ANI)
