UPDATE: 9:29 ET Dr. Hubert Minnis, Minister of Health in the Bahamas, told Larry King Jett's body was cremated today.

UPDATE 5:52 ET -- The assistant director of the funeral home told TMZ the pathologists who performed the autopsy concluded Jett Travolta died from a seizure.

Jett Travolta's death certificate lists "seizure" as the cause of death.

No word on the coroner's findings, at least not yet.

The body is currently en route to the airport to be flown back to Florida.

Arquette's Romance No Longer True

Posted Jan 5th 2009 4:51PM by TMZ Staff

Patricia Arquette has just filed for divorce.

In legal papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Arquette says her two-year marriage to Thomas Jane (who played Mickey Mantle in the HBO movie "61*") is kaput -- it's the ol' "irreconcilable differences."

They have a five-year-old daughter. And they have no prenup, which means Patricia's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, will come in handy. Wasser also recently filed on behalf of Kate Walsh too.

Posted Jan 5th 2009 2:37PM by TMZ Staff

The Round Mound of Rebound has finally found ... a DUI lawyer!

Sir Charles just hired Scott Maasen, a criminal defense attorney in Scottsdale who specializes in DUI cases -- and the guy is already going on a serious PR offensive.

So far, Maasen has already launched an independent investigation into the case and managed to get the basketball star to finally talk about it:

"Mr. Barkley, who has no prior DUI convictions, believes wholeheartedly in the court system and is cooperating fully with the court's process. Mr. Barkley wishes to thank family, friends and his ardent fans for their tremendous outpouring of support during this difficult time."

Barkley is set to appear in court on January 20.

Jett Travolta Autopsy May Never Be Public

Posted Jan 5th 2009 1:14PM by TMZ Staff

The Ministry of Health in the Bahamas tells TMZ the autopsy findings in the death of John Travolta's son may never be public.

Dr. Hubert Minnis says a pathologist at Rand Memorial Hospital (where Jett Travolta was pronounced dead) is currently performing the autopsy, which should take several hours. Dr. Minnis says he personally decided, because of the high profile nature of the case, to bring in a second pathologist from Nassau, Dr. Karen Sands. Dr. Minnis made a point to us that Dr. Sands is an American.

The doctor says once the pathologists complete a preliminary report, it's forwarded on to a coroner. The coroner then forwards the completed report to the Travolta/Preston family. Dr. Minnis says only the family has authority to release the findings to the public. No word if that will happen.
