DogExplorer.com News – It appears there was a fatal dog attack on a man working for actor Ving Rhames, according to statements issued by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).


Early Friday morning, August 3, 2007, an unidentified party called the LAPD to report a body found at the actor’s Brentwood, California, home.

The victim may have been responsible for caring for the dogs and thus been known to them. The LAPD statements indicate that the dogs were mastiffs, but which variety of mastiff is unclear. Actor Rhames was quoted in an earlier Time magazine article stating that he had eight Fila Brasileiro mastiffs, which may provide some clue.

According to local animal control authorities, four mastiffs were taken from the actor’s home while two are suspected of being involved in the alleged attack.
