The EMT who is accused to trying to extort millions from John Travolta testified yesterday that his autistic son was long dead before help arrived.
Accused paramedic Tarino Lightbourne told a Bahamanian jury that Jett Travolta’ s rigor mortis had set in before the ambulance arrived and that it was Travolta’s camp that tried to pay him off to hide the failure to get life saving medical care for the dead Jett, 16.
Lighbourne charged that Travolta’s lawyer Michael McDermott had offered the hush money, allegedly saying "we’re going to give you $15 million."
"My eyes popped," Lightbourne recalled. ‘I can’t even count to $1 million.’ I still don’t know what extortion is."
Travolta’s attorney accused Lightbourne’s testimony as rambling and a sick twisted version of the facts. The case revolves a round a right of a refusal document that the star signed.
Reportedly, Travolta attempted to perform CPR on his son who was, according to Lighbourne, already dead.
Lightbourne testified that when help arrived at the Travolta vacation home they found the boy naked on the floor, with no pulse and rigor mortis setting in.
"His pupils were fixed and dilated," he said. "He had flaky, dry bloodstains on mouth, ears and nose.
"This boy was dead, d-e-a-d, dead," he added. "No signs of life. Dead stiff. The veins were collapsed."
The Enquirer previously reported in an exclusive VIDEO interview with ambulance driver Marcus Garvey that corroborates Lightbourne’s testimony that Jett was already dead prior to their arrival.
