A model recruiter accused of procuring girls for convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead in his home in France. 
Marie-Céline Lawrysz , deputy public prosecutor at the Nanterre Judicial Court, confirmed in public statements on Wednesday that Daniel Siad’s body was found earlier this week in his home in Colombes. 
An autopsy will now be conducted to determine the cause of death. 
“An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery,” the Nanterre office said. 
Siad recently spoke with CNN’s Katie Polglase and denied ever having knowledge of Epstein’s crimes despite introducing him to two girls who later accused Epstein of sexual abuse. 
“I trusted him and believed this guy was a professional person,” Siad said. 
“I never heard anything from anyone I introduced to him who came back to me that they had a bad situation. 
I believed this guy is a professional person.” 
Siad’s name appears thousands of times in Department of Justice files related to Epstein’s case. 
Siad continued working with Epstein even after the billionaire was first convicted in Florida and forced to register as a sex offender. 
Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. 
Siad’s exchanges with Epstein were often Siad sending Epstein photos and details about young girls he’d met and recruited as a potential assistants or other workers for Epstein. 
In a 2015 email, Siad sent Epstein a photo of a 16-year-old girl and her friend, and Epstein replied that the girls were “too old.” 
Siad was facing his own abuse allegations, including rape, from multiple models. 
Siad denied the accusations. 
“I have never raped anyone in my life,” he told BFMTV in May. 
A former model, who gave a deposition in June as part of the investigation, told the BBC that Siad’s death represents a major piece of the Epstein mystery disappearing. 
“An important link in the chain has just vanished into thin air, without there even having been a chance to recover the information Daniel Siad might have possessed  given that he was never questioned,” she said .
