Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who lived for 18 years at the Charles de Gaulle Airport terminal on the outskirts of Paris due to a problem with identification documents, died of natural causes on November 12. Nasseri lived at the airport from August 1988 to August 2006, when he was taken to a hospital due to illness. He had returned to the airport a few weeks ago, living at Terminal 2F at the airport outside the French capital until his death. Nasseri, 76, published a book about his life that attracted the attention of Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and inspired the 2004 film The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
