Paris-area Epstein associate found dead amid French trafficking probe

A French modelling scout tied to Jeffrey Epstein, Daniel Siad, was found dead at his home near Paris as French prosecutors pursue a human-trafficking case accusing him of rape and other charges. Siad is named in U.S. Epstein files as a loyal intermediary who sourced models and arranged meetings for Epstein and his associate Brunel; he denied wrongdoing, claiming his work was legitimate model casting.
