A modelling scout linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
Daniel Siad, 69, was discovered on Monday in Colombes, a north-west suburb of Paris, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office confirmed.
An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening, the office said, adding that a post-mortem examination would be carried out. Siad’s name appeared thousands of times in the Epstein files released by the US government. He denied knowing of the threat Epstein had posed.
The Paris prosecutor’s office has defended an investigation it launched in February, saying there had been insufficient evidence to justify arresting Siad.
