Jett Travolta Dead 7 Hours Before Medics Arrived?

A witness in the Travolta case is making a startling allegation - that Jett Travolta was dead before the EMTs every got the scene! Paramedic Marcus Garvey is a witness for the defence, and accompanied Jett Travolta on his ride to the hospital. Having received his paramedic training in the USA he's being treated as an expert witness. He was also a shift supervisor for the ambulance service. Garvey claims that when the Travolta call came in it was treated as an extra special priority. In fact he and his boss took over the call from a less experienced crew.

However by the time they got to the Travolta residence Garvey claims that the autistic teenager was beyond help. Garvey says that he realized the teen was dead when he performed a pupil reaction test. The boy's pupils were widely dilated, and unresponsive, indicating that he had been dead awhile. What's more the boy's body was cold to the touch. Now low body temp and dialated pupils can be the result of a seizure, so in this case they are not the best indicators. Garvey does go on to say that he noticed blood pooling in the body, and that it indicated death had occured maybe as long as 7 hours before.

Garvey's theory is that there is some kind of cover up going on. In fact the experienced paramedic claims to have been told that the boy collapsed with a fatal seizure while his nannies were off partying. He has even gone so far as to state this under oath. Now none of this has any direct bearing on the issue, which was whether paranmedics tried to shake Travolta down for $25 mill. It does provide motive for a shake down and pay off however. It actually strengthens Travolta's case. The issue in question is not whether Travolta was responsible for his son's death, but whether medics tried to blackmail him.
