French modelling scout linked to Epstein found dead

Daniel Siad, a modelling scout who had been linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his residence outside Paris, prosecutors announced on Wednesday. The body was discovered on Monday evening, and the Nanterre prosecutor’s office said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Siad’s name appeared almost 2,000 times in the files released by the U.S. Department of Justice that detail Epstein’s network, underscoring the depth of his connections to the financier’s circle. While the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, authorities are treating the case as a matter of public interest and will investigate any potential links to the broader Epstein investigation.

The investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time. The report was provided by FRANCE 24’s Emerald Maxwell.
