French authorities have opened an investigation into the death of Daniel Siad, the 69-year-old model agent linked to Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead at his home in the Paris suburbs. A post-mortem examination is underway to determine the cause of death. Siad's lawyer has denied allegations of sexual offenses against him, stating that Siad was never indicted.
As The Zioneer first reported at 12:19 Jerusalem time on Wednesday, a French modelling scout with ties to Epstein was found dead. Subsequent reports identified the man as 69-year-old Daniel Siad, a Swedish-French citizen, with preliminary findings suggesting a heart attack. Later reports added that Siad was under investigation on suspicion of assisting Epstein in trafficking and abusing women, and that his name appears thousands of times in U.S. Department of Justice documents related to Epstein. The latest reports add that complaints had been filed against Siad in France on suspicion of sexual offenses, though his lawyer stated that he was never indicted and denied the allegations.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, Siad was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein and was under investigation for his role in the network. The investigation into both his death and the prior allegations continues.
It remains unclear whether the investigation into Siad's death is being treated as suspicious, and the exact cause of death has not been officially determined.
