Dogs maul man to death at actor's home

As many as four dogs mauled a man to death at the Los Angeles home of actor Ving Rhames today, authorities said.

The 40-year-old victim, who has not been identified, had worked at the home for about two years and was responsible for caring for the dogs, Los Angeles Police officer Sandra Gonzalez said.

Four mastiffs were seized by animal services, she said.

Police got a call at 7.15am from someone reporting a dead body at the home. Gonzalez did not know who made the call.

The victim was found on the front lawn, she said.

Rhames, 46, an action star who appeared in the “Mission Impossible” series, was not home at the time of the attack, she said.
