The Travolta family is allegedly being extorted for "millions of dollars" by a pair of unscrupulous Bahamians who reportedly are threatening to release a photo of a dying Jett Travolta unless the Pulp Fiction star pays up.
Two men in The Bahamas - including a local politician from Grand Bahama and another man believed to be connected to the ambulance service - are now being quizzed by local authorities over the allegations.
Apparently one of the paramedics that responded to the emergency call took a picture, using his cell phone, as Jett Travolta lay dying.
The shot is said to show the actor's 16-year-old son in the back of the ambulance which took him to hospital.
The Bahamian politician reportedly contacted Travolta on behalf of the medical worker, threatening to sell the picture to U.S. celebrity tabloids, such as the National Enquirer, if their million dollar demand is ignored.
A furious Travolta responded by rejecting the demands, instead contacting his lawyers who reportedly flew to the Bahamas to meet with the culprits and inform Grand Bahama police of the alleged extortion bid.
Jett Travolta, 16, died on January 2 after suffering a seizure, which he had a history of. Travolta reportedly tried to revive him with CPR while waiting for paramedics to arrive.
Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston issued a statement shortly after Jett's death, saying they were "heartbroken" and that Jett was ""the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for."
A police source in The Bahamas told local reporters, "The investigation is at an early stage. Mr Travolta is co-operating fully."
Former Tourism Minister and PLP MP for West End & Bimini, Obie Wllchcombe, is not involved in the extortion attempt.
