John Travolta Extortion Plot: Bahamian Senator Arrested, Resigns
Why Does it Seem that the Family is Being Held Accountable for the Unfortunate Death of Jett Travolta?
The extortion attempt against John Travolta and his family may be more extensive than originally thought. Bahamian Senator Pleasant Bridgewater resigned Saturday, January 24, after being arrested Thursday (and charged on Friday) on charges of abetment to extort and conspiracy to extort. She is the second government official the police have questioned in regard to the Travolta extortion complaint filed by John Travolta and Kelly Preston. One source claims that the complaint alleges that the family was approached with photographs of the death scene with the intent of extorting money. A third individual, an ambulance driver, has been detained in connection with the extortion attempt as well.According to the AFP, Senator Pleasant Bridgewater, a lawyer, maintains that she is innocent of the "untrue and unfair charges" leveled against her. "How these innocent actions can be misconstrued," she said, "so perversely twisted to mean something other than it was, is a mystery." She did not elaborate.
Former Bahamian tourism minister Obie Wilchcombe was taken in for questioning earlier this week but released pending further investigation. Tarino Lightbourne, an ambulance driver that assisted with attempts to revive the 16-year-old son of John Travolta after he collapsed at the Travoltas Bahamian vacation home, has been detained but not charged. Officials say Lightbourne turned himself in when he learned he was a suspect and is aiding in the investigation.
The investigation revolves around the death of Jett Travolta, the son of actor John Travolta and actress Kelly Preston, who was found on a bathroom floor of the Travolta family compound. The family originally stated that the young man, who was victim to chronic seizures, seemed to have collapsed and struck his head on a bathtub. Later statements from Bahamian police indicated that the coroner's report showed no signs of head trauma, but the official cause of death was listed as a seizure.
Jett Travolta was known to suffer from Kawasaki syndrome, a childhood malady that inflames and causes degenerative damage to the nervous system.
- John Travolta and Kelly Preston have been the center of cotroversy over the death of their son, Jett
- Speculation over the manner of death of Jett Travolta has been rampant.
- Two Bahamian officials and an ambulance driver have been questioned about an extortion attempt.

Bad juju for the family while trying to cope with this terrible loss!
:)
I bet that guy did the same to Howard, Anna's live-in. Either way, I'm never having a place out there. Thanks for the share, and I agree Saul...I seen the reports released thus far which reflects Travolta confirming his past anti-seizure medicine intake.
It's so sad.
But they were NOT withholding medication that could have helped him, Jill. They had Jett Travolta on the anti-seizure medication Depokate.
How sad that the family has to deal with this. If they were withholding medication that might have helped him, that's unfortunate, too. But we do what we think is best for our children at the time.
whenever a celebrity is involved, there is always some kind of drama. when we people learn these celebrities are no better or worse than any of us. They're just people, some good, some not so good.
What a cluster***k, seriously. And one of the bad guys is named PLEASANT BRIDGEWATER? Oh, you can't make this stuff up; you really can't.
