Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout with connections to Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his home in Colombes, a suburb of Paris, as confirmed by the Nanterre prosecutor's office. Siad, 69, was under investigation for allegedly aiding Epstein in trafficking and abusing women, although he had not yet been questioned by authorities. The prosecutor's office stated, "An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery," with an autopsy planned as part of the inquiry, according to The Local, Le Monde, and BBC.

Siad has been implicated in multiple allegations, including rape, and was the subject of an investigation by the office specializing in combating human trafficking. His name appeared in over 1,000 documents from the declassified Epstein files, where he had likened his recruitment efforts to fishing, stating "In this busyness I feel like fisherman some time I cache quick, some time no fish," in correspondence with Epstein, according to The Local and Le Monde.

Siad had previously denied any knowledge of Epstein's threat, asserting that Epstein had "taken advantage of his trust." In a recent BBC investigation, an alleged Epstein victim stated that Siad introduced her to Epstein, illustrating the extent of Siad's involvement, according to BBC.
