AceShowbiz - Mason Haynes, a 52-year-old British bodyguard known for protecting Kim Kardashian, died in a collision involving two Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a BMW X3, and a motorhome. Two men were arrested following the crash that claimed his life.
The fatal accident occurred just two days before Haynes's 53rd birthday. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Hampshire Police. Another motorcyclist, a man in his 30s from Farnham, was seriously injured and remains hospitalized. The drivers of both the BMW and the motorhome, aged 52 and 58 respectively, were arrested on suspicion of causing death and serious injury by careless or dangerous driving, but both have since been released under investigation as inquiries continue.
Mason Haynes was part of the security team during the 2016 armed robbery targeting Kim Kardashian in Paris, a high-profile event that underscored the risks faced by celebrity bodyguards. At the time of his death, he worked for Trojan Security UK and had built a reputation for professionalism and calm presence. His career began in his twenties while supporting his education, eventually leading to permanent contracts with the Kardashian family and other top celebrities. Haynes was also involved in efforts to support colleagues through his campaign group Bodyguards Against Bullying.
This loss is felt deeply by Haynes’s family, who described him as a devoted husband and father to his wife Fay and their two children, Brooke and Noah. A fundraising campaign has been established to assist his family with funeral expenses and immediate needs. His passing highlights the dangers faced by those protecting high-profile clients and the close ties they form with the people they work for.
