A prominent French modelling agent who was a former close associate of disgraced American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead in his Paris prison cell. An investigation has been launched into the circumstances and cause of the death of Jean-Luc Brunel.
Epstein, who was arrested in New York in July 2019 on charges of trafficking underage girls for sex, was found hanged in his New York jail cell the following month while awaiting trial over abuses involving girls at his Palm Beach home and on his private island in the Caribbean.
