Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout with ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors confirmed.Siad's body was discovered on Monday evening, and an autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.His name appeared nearly 2000 times in the Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice.French media reported that at least five women accused Siad, 69, of rape and human trafficking, allegations he denied.Siad's lawyer stated that he was never formally investigated, as French law requires preliminary probes before formal charges.Siad claimed his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional, and his lawyer suggested he died of a heart attack.This case adds to a pattern of deaths linked to Epstein, including the suicide of modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel in 2022.Epstein himself died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.The incident highlights ongoing legal and ethical scrutiny surrounding individuals connected to Epstein's alleged crimes.
