Paramedic 'threatened Travolta over son's death'

John Travolta claimed in court today that a blackmailing paramedic threatened to sell stories suggesting the actor was at fault over his son’s death.

The Grease star told a jury in the Bahamas that Tarino Lightbourne demanded $25m (€17m) and indicated that he would use a form against him in which Travolta stated he didn’t want 16-year-old Jett sent to a local hospital.
