   LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Dogs apparently belonging to "Mission:   
   Impossible" star Ving Rhames attacked and killed a caretaker at the actor's Los   
   Angeles home Friday, police said.   
      
   The caretaker, who was not immediately identified by name, was found dead in   
   front of Rhames' gated home in an expensive Brentwood neighborhood, Los Angeles   
   police spokeswoman Sandra Gonzalez said.   
      
   "This morning at 7:15 a.m. we got a call of a dead body" at Rhames' home,   
   Gonzalez said. "We found the body of a male, approximately 40 years old, on the   
   front lawn, who had been mauled by dogs."   
      
   She said the caretaker was pronounced dead at the scene and there was no one   
   else around when officers arrived.   
      
   Four dogs, at least two of them mastiffs, were taken away by animal control   
   officers. It was not immediately clear who had called police, or how many dogs   
   had mauled the caretaker, who had worked for Rhames for two years.   
      
   She said Rhames, known for starring in "Pulp Fiction" and alongside Tom Cruise   
   in all three "Mission: Impossible" movies, was not home when officers arrived.   
      
   Representatives for the 46-year-old actor, who according to news reports was   
   out   
   of the country shooting a movie, had no immediate comment.   
      
   Rhames has a long list of film and television credits and won a Golden Globe   
   for   
   starring as Don King in a 1997 TV movie about the flamboyant boxing promoter.   
   He   
   was nominated for an Emmy for the same role.   
      
   Gonzalez said an investigation by Los Angeles police detectives was under way   
   and that no further details were immediately available.
