LAPD tells TMZ that "Mission Impossible" star Ving Rhames' dogs have mauled and killed a man who worked for the actor.
Cops tell TMZ the victim worked as a caretaker for Rhames, watching over the dogs and his home. The four dogs, including Mastiffs and an English Bulldog, have been taken into custody by Animal Control. When LAPD received the call this morning at 7:15, they say they found a 40-year-old black male on the front lawn, deceased.
Calls to Ving's reps were not immediately returned, and the actor, apparently, is out of the country shooting a movie.
KABC is reporting that the body of the caretaker had bites all over his body. And police tell us they've never gone out to the house for an incident related to the dogs before.

Tragic. Why do people insist on keeping vicious dogs? Does it give these men a hard on to own these damn things. Vick and his dogs too. What the hell are these things even bred for/ No one needs an animal like that..
And peaking around the corner, was a black man wearing the number #7 Atlanta Falcons jersey, who looked a lot like a former NFL football player....Hmm
WOW IS RIGHT
I wonder why the dogs would attack this man? Maybe he was hurting them and they did what any dog would do?
Lots of these "stars" keep dogs locked up in cages for "safety"
thats cruel and I feel so bad for the dog of celebs.
Those poor babies :o(
Yeah #3. No one is to blame. Dumb Ass! If he owned those dogs it is his fault. Get it moron!
People that think that THEIR dog would NEVER do something like this should use this as a wakeup call. Pitbulls, Rotweilers, Mastiffs, and other dogs that are bred to be vicious can kill. Shove your egos back into your pants and get rid of these dangerous dogs
It's not the dogs fault. Certain breeds need alot of attention and training which obviously these dogs didn't have. This is 100% the dog owners fault.
One does not need 4 dogs for protection. The dogs were sold to Rhames by Michael Vick. Charge Rhames with manslaughter.....
Mastiffs are usually calm dogs so something had to drive them over the edge.
