Diesel's death was confirmed at 11:40 a.m. Paris time, about seven hours after the raid began.
The siege ended with two deaths and seven arrests but no clear information on the fugitive's fate.
The dead were a woman who blew herself up with an explosive vest and a man hit by projectiles and grenades, authorities said.
