Jeffrey Epstein Associate Daniel Siad's Death: No Signs of Violence Found

Investigators have found no indications of violence in the death of Daniel Siad, a French model agent with close ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The prosecutor's office announced this finding following an autopsy of the 69-year-old, who was discovered dead in his home in Colombes, northwest of Paris, on July 20.

The autopsy did not immediately reveal a definitive cause of death. However, investigators noted Siad's poor health and evidence of a previous heart attack. Further toxicological and pathological tests are underway to determine the precise cause of his demise.

Siad was himself under investigation in Paris for human trafficking, with five complaints filed against him, according to French newspaper Le Figaro. His name appears over a thousand times in the Epstein documents, which reportedly describe him as a paid 'girl hunter' working for Epstein. Le Figaro reported that Siad had categorically denied all accusations against him, though he had not yet fully testified in the investigation.

Former models have stated that Siad contacted them under the guise of professional opportunities, subsequently connecting them with Epstein or other men. This case echoes the 2020 arrest of another model agent, Jean-Luc Brunel, who was accused of facilitating the exploitation of minors for Epstein and was found dead in his prison cell in 2022.
