A model scout with ties to Jeffrey Epstein died in his house outside of Paris this week, according to authorities.

Daniel Siad, a former model recruiter who was tied to Epstein, was reportedly being investigated by French authorities for allegations of abuse, rape, and human trafficking for the convicted sex offender, all of which he denied. French law enforcement officials said his body was found in his home Monday evening and that an autopsy will be conducted as part of the investigation to determine his cause of death.
