John Travolta feels so much guilt over the death of his 16-year-old son Jett, his closest pals fear he could be on the brink of suicide, reports claim.

American tabloid The Globe alleges Travolta has sunk into a deep depression over the past few months, prompting his nearest and dearest to worry about his well being.

Jett died on January 2, 2009 after suffering a seizure at the Travolta family holiday home in the Bahamas.

The Grease star told a court in Nassau, in the Bahamas, Wednesday that paramedic Tarino Lightbourne said he would accuse John of killing Jett unless he handed over $25 million.

Travolta claims Lightbourne threatened to “imply that the death of my son was intentional and I was culpable in some way”.

Lightbourne and his attorney Pleasant Bridgewater are jointly accused of attempting to extort and conspiring to extort by means of threats, charges they both deny.

Travolta has previously told the court how he attempted to save his son’s life after he suffered a seizure.

“I was awakened by my son’s nanny pounding on the door saying Jett was unconscious. I ran downstairs to help my son with my wife. I saw him on the bathroom floor,” he told the jury.

“His other nanny Jeff Kathrein and a woman employee were doing CPR. I took the place of the woman. Jeff was doing compressions and I was doing breathing. I asked if an ambulance had been called and I was told, ‘Yes.’ “
