French Modelling Scout Linked to Sex Offender Epstein Found Dead Outside Paris

A French modelling scout named Daniel Siad, who was linked to the late U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in mysterious circumstances at his home outside Paris. Siad was under investigation in France for alleged collusion with Epstein in trafficking and abusing women, with rape allegations also being examined. He had not yet been questioned but claimed he wanted to explain his side of the story to clear his name. The Nanterre prosecutor’s office confirmed the death and stated an investigation into the cause of death has begun, with an autopsy planned. Siad’s name appeared in over 1,000 documents from the declassified Epstein files, and two former models alleged he attempted to deliver them to Epstein in the past. His death follows the 2022 suicide of another Epstein-linked figure, Jean-Luc Brunel, who was arrested in 2020 for similar charges.
