Siad's body was discovered on Monday evening. An autopsy will be carried out to determine the cause of death, the Nanterre prosecutor's office stated. Siad's name appeared nearly 2,000 times in the Epstein files released by the U.
S. Department of Justice. According to French media, at least five women accused Siad, 69, of rape and human trafficking, allegations Siad denied.
Siad's lawyer informed Reuters in an emailed statement that the modelling scout was never formally the subject of judicial proceedings. In France, suspects are placed under formal investigation only after a preliminary probe, which means that investigative magistrates consider there are reasonable grounds to believe a crime has been committed. Siad informed French broadcaster BFM in May that his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional."

He dismissed the charges, along with any participation in Epstein's sex trafficking.
