French Modelling Scout Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Found Dead Amid Investigation
Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his home near Paris. Siad, under investigation in France for allegations including rape and human trafficking, denied the accusations and had not been formally questioned before his death. Authorities have opened an inquiry and ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death. His name appeared extensively in Epstein-related documents, and his death follows that of another associate, Jean-Luc Brunel, who died in prison in 2022.
