He was found laying unconsciously in the bathroom by a caretaker. Per Bahamian Chief Superintendent Basil Rahming, efforts were made to revive Jett and he was taken to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Boost Your Internet Connectivity with a Download Speed Test
When everything else is practically dependent on the internet, it will definitely matter how fast your connectivity is. Of course, the least that you would want to experience is to waste precious time staring at your computer waiting for your important files to be downloaded. Now, you don’t have to worry about it as you can do something to increase the speed of your connectivity. You can do that by testing your internet speed.
With a download speed test, you will be able to boost your internet connectivity. The most basic step to enhance your connectivity is to find out what speed rate you are presently getting. It used to be when this process was accomplished by downloading a file from the internet while being manually timed. The main problem of this process lies in the difficulty of timing the upload speed rate which is also equally important to calculate the internet speed.
Today, this process is revolutionized. When you browse the internet you will see several websites offering the download speed test that is not only limited to automatically measuring your download speed rate but also offers you added tweaks to increase your total speed.
Further, the download speed test is not only exclusive to broadband connectivity as internet users who are still on the dial-up service are also given a means to boost internet connection. This is made possible by innovative technologies for enhancing speed rate.
When you have subjected your internet connection to a dependable download speed test, aside from determining your speed rate and enhancing your speed, the test will also be able to give you suggestions and guide on the most appropriate methods to increase your connectivity speed.
You can also use your download speed test in determining whether you are encountering certain speed-related issues. You must understand that there are several factors that may affect your speed. Amongst all of these factors, the most common cause for slow connectivity is malware programs that attack your system. Malware programs include spyware, adware, and viruses that may enter and attack your system when you are not fully protected.
Some of the download speed test will also give you the capability of automatically optimizing your connectivity so you can enjoy faster speed rate than ever. At your end, you can also manually optimize your connectivity to ensure full speed. The most essential optimization you can do is to clear your system with unnecessary files that slow down your connection.
Basically, you only need to click a button or too in your browser and you will be able to delete all unnecessary files that clog your system and therefore slow down your connectivity.
