John Travolta Extortion Case Update
A paramedic is speaking out and saying that John Travolta’s son’s body already was hitting rigor mortis by the time he was called for help.
Tarino Lightbourne has been accused of trying to extort money from the actor after Jett Travolta’s death. Lightbourne claimed that medical aid was called to late to help the 16 year-old, who had suffered a seizure in the bathroom of the family’s Bahamas holiday home on January 2.
Lightbourne said, “His pupils were fixed and dilated. He had flakey, dry bloodstains on his mouth, ears and nose. This boy was dead. No signs of life. Dead stiff. The veins were collapsed.”
The defendant says he was offered $15 million by Travolta’s lawyer, Michael McDermott, to dispose of a Refusal of Transport/Treatment document which the actor had signed because he and wife Kelly Preston wanted Jett to be flown back to the US for treatment.
Representatives for the family have agreed that he signed the form - but believing it was all part of a standard procedure.
Jett was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.
Speculations have accused Lightbourne and co-accused former Senator Pleasant Bridgewater of demanding $25 million from Travolta and even threatened to sell a story claiming that the couple “intentionally killed” their son.
Both defendants deny the charges. The case continues.
