Event Summary

An autopsy on modelling scout Daniel Siad, who had ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, found no signs of violence. Siad was found dead at his home in Colombes, France, on July 20, 2026. The autopsy, conducted on July 23, revealed impaired health and traces of a previous heart attack but did not establish a direct cause of death. Toxicology and pathology tests are pending. Siad's name appeared nearly 2,000 times in files on Epstein released by the U.S. Department of Justice. French investigators had placed him under surveillance as part of a human trafficking and tax fraud investigation but did not find enough evidence to arrest him. His lawyer, Menya Arab-Tigrine, stated that investigators found no evidence justifying his arrest. Siad is the second man linked to Epstein to die in France, following Jean-Luc Brunel, who was found hanged in his prison cell in 2022.
