Man mauled to death at Ving Rhames' home a.. Dogs kill man at Ving Rhames' L.A. house b.. Man was caretaker at house c.. Rhames, known for "Mission: Impossible," not at home when attack occurred 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. Hopefully the man's family will sue Rhames and take all his money. |

Hopefully the man's family will sue Rhames and take all his money. Most homeowners policies will cover that kind of loss. I have no idea what his house looks like, but I'll guess it's worth several million dollars and thus his policy limits will be adequate to cover whatever amount is negotiated. Typically these are based on future earnings (with an extra percentage tacked on for pain/suffering/loss of consortium.etc.) and you're looking at a victim who is already halfway through his working life and probably didn't earn that much per year. Bottom line; about the only cost to Rhames will be flowers and a card. Bo Raxo |

If the caretaker died from a heart attack, No, he died from a dog attack. the Insurance company may limit the payment to the caretaker benefactors, or if it went to trial, homeowner's insurance liability could be limited... Why ? |

If the caretaker died from a heart attack, No, he died from a dog attack. His death certificate might list that as a secondary or tertiary cause of death, but the primary cause of death will be something like blood loss, heart failure, traumatic head injury, whatever primary system failure caused his direct expiration. the Insurance company may limit the payment to the caretaker benefactors, or if it went to trial, homeowner's insurance liability could be limited... Why ? Because they can argue that if a heart condition killed him, it would have killed him before long anyway. It's a great tactic for an attorney facing a case where his or her client is going to lose: find an argument that the actual losses should be much smaller, and either hope the jury splits the difference or use it as leverage to negotiate a lower settlement. I'm not an attorney, but business is business, you look for something to anchor an opposite end position and negotiate the best middle ground deal you can get. |

It also matters whether the caretaker was negligent in his own death. Rhames could have done everything right, locked up the dogs, etc. before he left to go shoot his movie and if the caretaker was the one who carelessly let them out or did anything which provoked them to attack, Rhames bears no responsibility whatsoever. Until the investigation is over, it's silly to assume Rhames (or his insurance company) will have to pay out. |
