French prosecutors said Daniel Siad was found dead Monday night in his Paris apartment and have opened an investigation, with an autopsy still pending.
Siad's lawyer told Fox News Digital he died of a heart attack, while saying stress from months of scrutiny over his Epstein links may have contributed.
At least 24 women have come forward as victims or witnesses in a Paris human trafficking and fraud probe launched in February, though his lawyer said investigators lacked grounds to arrest him and he was never prosecuted.
Reuters reported Siad's name appeared about 2,000 times in Justice Department Epstein files, including emails in which he allegedly discussed placing girls in Paris and Barcelona and sent images of a 17-year-old in 2009.
The death comes as acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on July 15 that U.S. prosecutors remain prepared to pursue anyone criminally tied to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation.
