Irving C Rhames, aka Ving Rhames has had tragedy strike a little too close to home.
The 48-year-old talented New York born actor has reportedly had a person under his employ killed as a result of a horrific dog mauling incident at his gated mansion in Southern California.
LAPD have indicated that the victim worked as a caretaker for Rhames over the past two years, watching over the dogs and his home.
The four dogs, three mastiffs weighing 200lbs each and one english bulldog, have been taken into custody by Animal Control and will remained quarantined for the next few days.RHAMES' DEADLY DOGS
It was actually Vings mother who called police this morning at 7:15, after discovering the deceased 40-year-old Black man on the front lawn.
The "Mission Impossible", "Baby Boy" and "Kojak" star has yet to release a statement about the incident.
A responsible mastiff breeder takes great pains to place mastiff dogs in homes where there will be appropriate socialization. Human interaction is required with this breed because only a fool wants a huge, unsocialized dog with two inch incisors and jaws that can pop a basketball.
It is almost unheard of for a mastiff to attack. It's unknown if these dogs are english mastiffs or fila brasiliero dogs. But Ving Rhames was previously connected with a Canadian mastiff breeder who was kicked out of the Canadian Kennel Club for cruelty to animals.
