Four dogs belonging to actor Ving Rhames are suspected of having mauled his caretaker, who was found dead on Rhames's Brentwood property Friday morning, the Los Angeles Police Department confirms.

"We removed three mastiffs and one bulldog – they were the size of lions – from Rhames's property," said Capt. Matt Blake of the LAPD, "but we have no solid evidence that they were the cause of death."

The victim – described only as a 40-year-old African-American male – was a caretaker for both Rhames's house and the dogs, according to the police.

Rhames, 48, was not home at the time of the mauling. The animals have been taken to an animal shelter and are being examined for traces of blood, Blake said.

The case is still under investigation.
