Daniel Siad, the French model scout whose name flooded the Epstein files and who spent years funneling young women toward the disgraced financier, was found dead at his home in the Paris suburb of Colombes on Monday.
An autopsy has been ordered. His lawyer suggested his body simply gave out under the pressure. French prosecutors confirmed the discovery but said the broader investigation into trafficking networks linked to Epstein will continue without him.

Siad, 69, appeared more than 2,000 times in the Department of Justice files released earlier this year. For over a decade he arranged introductions between Epstein and models, sending photos, descriptions, and travel updates.

In one exchange Siad floated a “cute French girl in Marrakesh.” In another he hunted for a “good looking young assistant.” Epstein replied to one candidate with a curt “Too old.”
Files show Epstein paid Siad tens of thousands of dollars. Siad later claimed he believed Epstein was a legitimate casting director for Victoria’s Secret and the MC2 agency and insisted none of the women he referred ever complained to him.
French authorities opened an investigation in February into organized human trafficking and criminal conspiracy after the files dropped. Twenty-four women came forward or were identified. At least sixteen have been interviewed.
Prosecutors said special investigative techniques, including phone intercepts, produced no evidence justifying Siad’s immediate arrest. Criminal proceedings against him terminated with his death, but the probe into the wider network continues.
