Daniel Siad, a French modelling scout under investigation for alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network, was found dead at his home in Colombes, a Paris suburb, on July 20, 2026. The France — Nanterre prosecutor's office opened an investigation into the cause of death, with an autopsy planned. Siad, 69, had been accused of recruiting women for Epstein and faced multiple rape allegations. His name appeared thousands of times in Epstein-related documents. Siad had denied the allegations and claimed Epstein took advantage of his trust. His death follows that of Jean-Luc Brunel, another Epstein associate who died in prison in 2022. Victims expressed frustration, saying justice was denied.
