A modelling scout whose name appeared thousands of times in court documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in Paris, according to reports. Daniel Siad, who worked in the fashion industry, was discovered dead in the French capital. The cause of death has not been disclosed, and an investigation is under way.
Siad's name appears in the Epstein files, a collection of documents from a lawsuit involving the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2008 and died in 2019. The documents reportedly mention Siad numerous times, though the exact nature of his connection to Epstein is not specified in the reports. Siad had previously denied knowing about the threat that Epstein posed, saying he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities.
Epstein's case drew widespread attention due to his connections with wealthy and influential figures. The files, which were unsealed in recent years, contain names of many associates and acquaintances. Siad's death adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Epstein's network.
Authorities in Paris are investigating the circumstances of Siad's death. No further details have been released at this time.
