Siad, 69, was under investigation by French prosecutors specializing in human trafficking and faced allegations of rape from several women. His name appeared nearly 2,000 times in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Siad denied all allegations and maintained that his relationship with Epstein was strictly professional.
According to The Guardian, Siad had not yet been questioned by investigators but had expressed a desire to provide his version of events. He claimed he believed he was providing women for legitimate model casting sessions in Paris, stating that meetings lasted no more than 10 minutes and that he always left with the models immediately.
Siad's lawyer told Reuters that Siad had died of a heart attack and never faced formal judicial proceedings. He was known to have worked as a scout for Jean-Luc Brunel, another figure linked to Epstein who died by suicide in prison in 2022 while awaiting trial on charges of rape of minors and sexual harassment.
The investigation into Siad's death comes amid broader scrutiny of Epstein's network. French authorities are reviewing evidence from the Epstein files that mention several French nationals, including Brunel. The case has drawn international attention due to its connection to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
