Modelling scout linked to Epstein found dead in Paris suburbs
Prosecutors opened a cause-of-death inquiry as Daniel Siad faced trial over accusations he helped Jeffrey Epstein recruit and abuse women.
- On Wednesday, French prosecutors announced that Daniel Siad, a modeling scout linked to American financier Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his home in Colombes, west of Paris.
- Siad was under investigation in France for allegedly aiding Epstein in trafficking and abusing women, though he denied the accusations and sought to provide his own account to investigators.
- Accusations against Siad include rape, as alleged by a former Swedish model, and his name appears in more than 1,000 records linked to Epstein's network according to declassified documents.
- Lisa Brinkworth, co-founder of Victorious Angels, expressed shock at the news. "It is devastating that the survivors in the Brunel case were first denied justice, and now those in the Siad case," she told AFP.
- An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery, the Nanterre prosecutor's office added. This death follows those of Epstein in 2019 and Brunel in 2022, both facing sex trafficking charges.
