An autopsy on John Travolta's son, Jett, has been scheduled to take place on Monday in Grand Bahamas, E! News has confirmed. 

Two U.S.-certified pathologists will be flown in from Nassau to perform the autopsy to ensure accuracy of the results. A possible cause of death could be released by the end of Monday. 

One of Travolta's attorneys told reporters that it's likely Jett's body will be flown back to Florida, where the 16 year old will be buried. His mother is actress Kelly Preston, who's been married to Travolta since 1991. The couple own a home in Ocala, Florida.

Meanwhile, E! News has learned more about the "caretaker" who found Jett's body on Friday morning. He is Jeff Michael Kathrein, a close family friend and professional photographer. Kathrein, 30, has snapped pics of Kelly for a magazine shoot and also has professional ties to John.
