French scout linked to Epstein files found dead outside Paris

Daniel Siad, a modelling scout with documented ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead at his residence outside Paris. The Nanterre prosecutor’s office confirmed the discovery on Wednesday, stating that an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Siad’s body was discovered on Monday evening. While the specific circumstances surrounding the death remain under investigation, prosecutors have indicated that the results of the post-mortem examination will be necessary to establish the official cause of death.

The case has drawn attention due to Siad’s extensive association with Epstein. According to records released by the U.S. Department of Justice, Siad’s name appeared nearly 2,000 times within the Epstein files. These documents have previously been the subject of significant public and legal scrutiny regarding the financier’s network.

The Nanterre prosecutor’s office is currently overseeing the inquiry into the death. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the nature of Siad’s activities or the specific context of his links to Epstein, beyond the volume of references found in the American files.

As the investigation proceeds, the focus remains on the forensic findings from the autopsy. The French authorities have not ruled out any possibilities, and the case is being treated with standard procedural caution pending the release of official results.
