Overview
- Daniel Siad, a 69-year-old model agent long named in Epstein-related records, was found dead at his home in Colombes near Paris and the Nanterre prosecutor has opened an inquiry into his death.
- Prosecutors have ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death and officials have confirmed the body was discovered in Siad’s residence.
- Siad’s name appears repeatedly in the Epstein files where he is described as a recruiter of young women and girls for Jeffrey Epstein.
- French authorities were already pursuing a criminal probe into Siad for human trafficking and he faced past rape complaints from multiple women, including the model Ebba Karlsson.
- His death follows other contested deaths connected to Epstein’s network and could slow or complicate victim testimony and efforts to map the network while key questions remain unresolved.
