Police in the Bahamas are investigating reports that someone tried to extort millions of dollars from John Travolta and Kelly Preston in the wake of the death of their son, Jett. A man believed to be one of the medics that rushed young Jett to the hospital claimed to have snapped a photo with his cell phone as the dying boy was loaded into the ambulance. He threatened to sell the picture to the tabloids if the actor didn't pay up.
A local politician may also be involved, though a member of the Bahama parliament insists that isn't the case. Travolta's lawyers say he and Preston are fully cooperating with the investigation and have the "the utmost confidence in the Bahamian police and government." However, fourteen senior officials in the Bahama Police Force were just fired due to incompetency and/or corruption.
