Merhan Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian man who lived for 18 years in Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport and inspired the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks film The Terminal, died Saturday at the airport, officials said.
He was believed to be 80 years old. Nasseri died from a heart attack in the airport’s Terminal 2F around midday, officials said.
A medical team and police treated him, but were unable to save him. Nasseri lived in the airport’s Terminal 1 from 1988 until 2006.
He was in legal limbo at first because he lacked residency papers, but later stayed on at the airport by choice. He had been living in the airport again in recent weeks, officials said.
