Ving Rhames' Deadly Dog Attack

A 40-year-old male caretaker was mauled to death by two dogs — both weighing about 200 pounds — at the home of Ving Rhames today, authorities said.

The man had numerous bites on his body and died at the scene of the attack, which was reported about 7:15 a.m.

“He appears to have suffered a number of injuries as a result of the dog mauling,” Lt. Ray Lombardo said. “There were dogs loose on the property. Those dogs have been captured by animal regulation (officers).”

“Both those dogs are mastiffs; they’re rather large,” Lombardo added. “Normally we understand they are pretty friendly dogs. But, you know, there are occasions where dogs will turn on their owners or their caretakers, and this looks like a tragic accident.”

Rhames, 46, was not home at the time of the attack — he was on-location in Bulgaria shooting The Tournament. The actor is best known for roles in Pulp Fiction and Mission: Impossible.
