A modelling scout linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home.

Daniel Siad, 69, was discovered on Monday in Colombes, a north-west suburb of Paris, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office confirmed to the BBC.

“An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery,” the office said, adding that an autopsy will be carried out.

Daniel Siad, whose name appears in the Epstein files thousands of times, had previously denied knowledge of the threat Jeffrey Epstein posed.

    Lawyers for the former model who made the first complaint said they were “stunned” by his death.

    “We are at a loss for words to describe the anger and sadness we feel,” they said, with the sadness for their clients “now denied a criminal trial”.

    And likely a lengthy sentencing. This isn’t exactly good news, as much as we may rightfully despise such horrible people.

    Another one who won’t have to face a trial and justice:

    Another associate of Epstein, French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, was found hanged in his Paris prison cell in 2022.

        Siad , next will be the mysterious deaths of Amanda Ungaro and Melania’s pimp, Paolo Zampolli. Ungaro is hiding out in Brazil after Trump deported her, she went public to save her life.

        I doubt this will be seen in Melania 2.
